Cornell University Comparative Literature 247 Goldwin Smith Hall Ithaca, NY 14853-3201 US   Phone: 1-607-255-4155 Fax: 1-607-255-6661   At a Glance Program Requirements Tuition & Financial Aid Institution Overview Important Dates Upcoming Events Degrees: Program Format: Doctoral Ph.D. - Comparative Literature On Campus   The Field of Comparative Literature at Cornell offers a Ph.D. degree in all major areas of literary study, with particular emphasis on European literature from the Renaissance to the modern period and on literary criticism and theory. Because the field is small (about twenty students), it is possible to plan individual programs of study that ensure thorough preparation in literary traditions and detailed awareness of literary and theoretical problems. In addition to providing extensive coverage of primary literary texts from Europe and much of the rest of the world, the field devotes much attention to theoretical studies (for example, hermeneutics, Marxist theories, the aesthetics of the Frankfurt School, structuralism and semiotics, deconstruction, postcolonial theory, rhetorical studies, stylistics, and the problems of reader response).
