Summary/Abstract: The review of “The Horizons of Contemporary Slavic Comparative Literature Studies” is a description of selected papers contained in the volume in question and a discussion with certain proposals touched in it. The reviewer questions the position that Slavic comparative studies occupies in the world comparative studies, the analysis of the phenomena that occur in those literatures in isolation from other literatures, and sometimes overappreciation of “interliterariness theory” by a Slovak scholar Dionýz Ďurišin. Undeniable value of the book is a set of information on the state of comparative studies in Slavic countries, on the subjects of undertaken investigations and future research plans.
