All works published in this field so far can be generally divided into four categories: the first category includes works related to theorizing in this field; the second category consists of works where the author practically engages in the comparison between topics in the literature of one language with another language; the third category includes works where the researcher organizes their work as a mixture of two types, meaning their book includes both a theoretical section and an applied section; the fourth category consists of works where the author, based on their own research, presents an extensive report by presenting literary figures and their works, and offers criticism and opinion regarding the content of each.
In this writing, the author of these lines, for the purpose of criticizing and reviewing this book, after structural and content analysis and attention to existing specialized terminology, has presented matters such as examining the suitability of the work with the author's goals, the suitability of the content with the title and table of contents, the suitability of the book for university teaching, the up-to-dateness of information, referencing reliable sources, assessing the book in terms of innovation and the author's integrity, and identifying superior features and shortcomings.
The result of this research shows that after implementing the necessary suggestions and corrections, and considering the structure and a precise approach to the pioneers of the field of comparative literature and distinguishing between balance and comparison, this work is useful as a supplementary textbook resource in graduate studies in the course of literary criticism.
