World Literature Written in English (WLWE)

World Literature Written in English was a significant academic journal devoted to the study of literature produced in English outside the traditional British and American canon. Established in 1973, the journal played a pioneering role in promoting the study of Commonwealth and postcolonial literatures at a time when these fields were emerging in academic discourse. The journal published scholarly articles, critical essays, and reviews that explored literary works from Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and other regions where English is used as a literary language. It emphasized themes such as identity, colonialism, migration, language, and cultural hybridity, helping to broaden the scope of English literary studies. Over time, the journal evolved and was eventually continued under the title Journal of Postcolonial Writing, reflecting shifts in terminology and academic focus within the field. Despite this transition, World Literature Written in English remains historically important for its contribution to the recognition and development of global English-language literatures.
