Hello,

English Literature mainly  focuses on the study of authors whose works were originally written in that language. While , Comparative Literature involves the study of other literatures, reading in their original languages or sometimes read in translation. Also, comparative literature focuses on the study of the literatures of two or more groups differing in cultural background and, usually, in language, concentrating on their relationships to and how much they influences upon each other.

Both , comparative and english Literature have scopes accordingly.

For example, for English Literature,depending on your grasp of grammar and writing skills, you can become a  Scriptwriter, English Teacher, Storyteller, Freelance Writer, Editor, Journalist, and you can choose from a number of jobs, such as teaching, publishing, writing, advertising, research or translation.

Also, for the students of comparative literature, they also gain experience in both the theoretical and practical issues of cross-cultural work, gaining a deeper understanding of intercultural and transnational relations that is increasingly vital to employers.

Hope that helps.
