Welcome to the home page of the Department of Comparative Literature

Welcome to the home page of the Department of Comparative Literature at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. From here you can make your way through the astonishing world of Comparative Literature at U. W. Madison.

Visit our pages on a (brief) history of comparative literature and current departmental news, on the faculty and their interests and areas of expertise, on the graduate and undergraduate programs and students, on samples of previous departmental course offerings and our current course listings and descriptions, and on our recommendations for interesting (and sometimes even exciting) links.

If you're interested in majoring in Comparative Literature at either the undergraduate or graduate level, you'll find everything we would usually provide to you in hard copy, plus some additional information available only here. And if you're already a student in the Graduate or Undergraduate Programs, there are useful and important (and sometimes even exciting) pages for you too.
