7. World literature started out to be an ideal or ambition. Goethe said, “The era of world literature is at hand, and everyone must contribute to accelerating it.” World literature is used to refer to the sum total of the world’s national literatures, but usually it denotes the circulation of works into the wider world beyond their country of origin. David Damrosch states, "A work enters into world literature by a double process: first, by being read as literature; second, by circulating out into a broader world beyond its linguistic and cultural point of origin".

Often used in the past primarily for masterpieces of Western European literature, world literature today is increasingly seen in global context because in the present time, countries are experiencing similar situations and somehow, they are all linked together.
