World Literature Today 6.16

World Literature Today, originally established as Books Abroad in 1927 by Roy Temple House, stands as a significant platform for international literary dialogue. Dr. House, a scholar from the University of Oklahoma, articulated his vision for the journal in a letter to university president William Bennett Bizzell, seeking an initial budget of $150 for its first two editions. He expressed a clear intent: “. . . I know our little magazine will be useful in various quarters. A good many of us, I think, are coming to feel strongly that the University of Oklahoma must begin fostering contributions to the scholarly and cultural activities of the nation” (October 21, 1926). For over two decades, Dr. House diligently guided the journal's development, ultimately being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1948 in recognition of his efforts as an “ambassador of international cooperation and goodwill.”
