Abstract

Today, comparative literature has received more attention than ever and its fields of study have expanded. However, what is required is to follow structured principles and conduct systematic research in order to obtain useful results and to provide a basis for relevant studies. In this regard, the bookThe problematic literary currents and influences in the arab world, a comparative study written by Saeed Alloush, expresses the challenges and studies their impact and effects on the contemporary currents of Arabic literature and attempts to critique and analyze them in a scientific way and by providing some examples and suggesting ways to get out of the challenges.and this is what comparative literature and any methodological knowledge seeks and considers as the headline of its work. The pioneering discourse aims to portray the potential strengths and weaknesses of the said work through the method of analyzing quantitative and qualitative content in order to present, critique and explain the formal and content components of the said work. The results showed that despite some formal deficiencies in this work, its foundation was done wisely and compassionately, and it in turn took a step forward in the methodology of research in this field.
