During the Nazi occupation of France (1940–1945), the directors of the RLC decided to cease its publication; the following year in Cardiff (UK) the journal Comparative Literature Studies was launched, which provided a temporary replacement. In 1965, F. Baldensperger published a paper in this journal in which he revisited the beginnings of RLC: he reminded readers of the hopes people had had for the future at the end of the Great War and compared them with what happened thereafter. For his part, in the RLC issue of 1946, J.-M. Carré gave his leading article the title “Beginning Again.” Both papers, though written in a different mood, conceive comparative literature as a subject promoting a modern humanism.
