Summary/Abstract: The paper is a summarizing research on the history of Romanian schools of comparative literature and Romanian comparativists. Its first concern is underlining the local developments that define the discipline, focusing on the synchronicity points, the advancements or the belatedness of various issues involved in the process of turning comparative literature into an academic discipline. The second concern is a matter of recording the readiness of present-day comparative literature of Romanian universities in front of the epi-phenomena engaged by both globalization and digital culture, that is, by the profound alterations in every field of human knowledge.
