Abstract
The autonomy of literature and literary standard is of great significance for Earl Miner's comparative poetics research. The former is the presupposition of Earl Miner's system of comparative poetics, and the latter its basic standard. Departing from these, Miner draws a map for the literary and poetic tradition of the West and the East, thereby redefining the essence of literature and literary genres from a comparative perspective and expounding the cultural and historical factors that have led to the difference. Key to his system, Earl Miner's assumption of literature autonomy and abidance to the literary standard in literary studies are beneficial to current studies of literature, comparative literature, and comparative poetics.
