World Literature Today
World Literature Today (WLT) is an American magazine of international literature and culture, published at the University of Oklahoma. The magazine's stated goal is to publish international essays, poetry, fiction, interviews, and book reviews for a non-academic audience.[1] It was founded under the name Books Abroad in 1927 by Roy Temple House, a professor at the University of Oklahoma. In January 1977, the journal assumed its present name, World Literature Today.[2]

Recent history[edit]
In late 2000, the editors worked with 40 scholars to establish a list of the "Most Important Works in World Literature, 1927–2001," a project organized and timed to help celebrate WLT's 75th year of uninterrupted publication. The top-40 list was chosen by specialists with the non-specialist in mind, to invite response and debate among readers and writers.
In addition, a forum for readers' correspondence was also initiated in 2000.[10]
