Focus and Scope
Forum for World Literature Studies has a strategic focus on broadening the conversations in world literature by highlighting voices, texts, and traditions that are frequently overlooked, and welcomes submissions in literary theory, close reading, historical recovery, and cultural studies, especially scholarships that bring attention to underrepresented countries and cultures.
