Although the history of comparative literature in Jordan has not been synonymous with other Arab countries, including Egypt, but it offers another example of the development of comparative literature in the Arab world; Jordanian adapters first examined the relationships between the influences of Arabic literature and other nations, especially the West. Therefore, the studies of the first period focused more on the axis of traditional and past literature, in particular poetry. With the advent of modernism, comparative research in Jordan has entered a new phase. The adapters sought to discover the extent to which Arabic literatures were influenced by the developments in world literature and Western liberation movements.  Attention to other branches of literature along with poetry; stories and plays are among the features of the comparative research of this period. With the rise of nationalism and pan-Arabism, as well as criticizing the methods and views of former colonial countries in the world, the Jordanian adopter found that the insistence on the origin of the literary work was no longer desirable and worthy of comparative literature. Consequently, Postmodernist comparative studies have been stepped up to Jordan's comparative studies. This article, with a descriptive-analytical approach, aims to depict the history of the development of comparative literature in Jordan in the period of comparative studies of traditional works, comparative studies of the literature of the modern age and comparative-cultural studies of the literature of the postmodern period, the developments of this knowledge in Analyze this Arab country.
