OBJECTIVES OF TEACHING HISTORY OF LITERATURE IN UNIVERSITIES: NEEDS AND SUGGESTIONS

Abstract

While writing the history of literature,  giving  importance  to  basic  and fundamental principles is quite necessary but it is more  important  that in  our universities the objectives of teaching history of literature should be clear and lucid. Geographical and historical information be projected in the classroom while teaching history of language and literature. Critical sense of the teacher may inculcate a sense of history in the students, who may distinguish between the history and historicity. In this article, these questions have been raised and some answers and suggestions have also been presented.
