South East Asia represents an extremely important field of comparative literary studies. This inaugural lecture attempts to outline the modern diversity of South East Asian literature and also to trace back its history and unity with the rest of Asian literature, and its early influences from both India and China. The lecture also focuses on the importance of early literature in South East Asian teaching, culture and religion, from early oral folk literatures and mythologies, to the preservation of traditional cultures in the present day.
