The `History of World Literature` brought to the attention of readers is intended to characterize the historical movement of literatures ... (More) world from ancient times, from the very origins of literature, to the XX century. and identify the leading patterns of this movement. In Marxist literary criticism, this is the first work with such a wide scope of generalized material. The need for the creation of this kind of work is obvious. This necessity is dictated by the very logic of the development of our literary science. Per recent times the geographical and historical boundaries of the studied literatures and artistic monuments have noticeably expanded. At the same time, interest in finding ways to generalize the richest historical and literary material available is becoming ever more acute. Convincing evidence of this is the significant achievements Soviet science in the development of methods for the comparative study of the world literary process. The publication of a Marxist history of world literature meets the urgent social needs of our day.
