The Nature and Scope of Literary Research

Drawing upon Hillway’s three types of research, this paper seeks to take a look at the nature and scope of literary research. It focuses on early works on the subject: Altick (1950, 1963), Sanders (1951), and Bateson (1972) – to demonstrate how some facts lying there can be uncovered through a slightly different reading of these texts. It highlights the similarities that make literary criticism, literary research, and literary scholarship synonymous, if not the same. It ends by mentioning briefly the approaches and methods of literary research.

CENTRAL ASIAN JOURNAL OF LITERATURE, PHILOSOPHY AND CULTURE, 2019

Aim of research is to find the answers to the questions generated in a curious mind. The discovery, preservation and communication of the historical and present record of human society when combined with scientific deliberation, rewards the seekers and the readers. A lot of efforts can be seen to understand research and its process. Seldom do we find contents pertaining to research in the area of art or humanities. The paper entitled 'Research Methodology' seeks clarity towards an approach to research and is comprised into three parts to generate a bird eye view from general aspects of research to research in humanities stream. Wherein Part I contains basic as well as pertinent aspects related to importance of research, definitions, objectives, stimulus-its significance and types: where the classification is based on general, nature, purpose and design. Research is seldom neutral, but reflects a range Researcher's personal interest, values, abilities, assumptions, aims and ambition. Everyone is a philosopher and has an own concept of the world. The alternative to having a philosophy is not having no philosophy but having a bad philosophy. Part II includes an introduction to Research Theories, Philosophies and Methods with inclination to humanities as the main stream. Research involves a systematic process that contains multiple steps sometimes inter linked as well. Part III probes into the concepts and layers of Research Process along with certain amount of light on aspects pertaining to literary studies.

The Cambridge Introduction to Literature and Philosophy

2014

Literature and philosophy have long shared an interest in questions of truth, value, and form. And yet, from ancient times to the present, they have oft en sharply diverged, both in their approach to these questions and in their relationship to one another. Moreover, the vast diff erences among individual writers, historical periods, and languages pose challenges for anyone wishing to understand the relationship between them. Th is Introduction provides a synthetic and original guide to this vast terrain. It uncovers the deep interests that literature and philosophy share while off ering a lucid account of their diff erences. It sheds new light on many standing debates and off ers students and scholars of literary criticism, literary theory, and philosophy a chance to think freshly about questions that have preoccupied the Western tradition from its very beginnings up until the present.
