'''''Encounter''''' was a [[literary magazine]], founded in 1953 by poet [[Stephen Spender]] and early [[neoconservative]] author, [[Irving Kristol]], and published in England. The magazine ceased publication in 1990. It was a largely Anglo-American intellectual and cultural journal.

Spender was an editor until 1966, when he resigned. The cause of Spender's resignation was the revelation in 1967 of the covert [[CIA]] funding of the magazine, of which he had been unaware. This caused a scandal among European and American intellectuals, and has, ever since, somewhat overshadowed the magazine's literary content.

''Encounter'' celebrated its greatest years in terms of readership and influence under [[Melvin J. Lasky]], who succeeded Kristol in 1958, and would serve as the main editor until the magazine closed its doors. Other editors in this period included [[Frank Kermode]] and [[D. J. Enright]].
