"The Interdependence of Literature" by Georgina Pell Curtis is a scholarly exploration of the connections between literary traditions from various cultures and eras, written during the early 20th century. This work seeks to highlight the intricate relationships among the literatures of ancient civilizations—such as Babylonian, Hebrew, Indian, Persian, and various European forms—illustrating how these texts have influenced each other across time and geography. The opening of the text introduces readers to the idea that all literatures are interconnected, drawing on adaptations and inspirations from one another. Curtis begins with ancient literatures, emphasizing the foundational role of Hebrew literature while presenting evidence of earlier works from civilizations like Babylon and Egypt. She cites how ancient narratives and poetry laid the groundwork for religious texts, particularly highlighting Moses' literary contributions. The narrative style aims to engage readers in understanding literature as a continually evolving tapestry influenced by collective cultural experiences, setting the stage for a deeper examination of the specific interconnections that define literary heritage.
