Featured Journals

Critical Quarterly

Critical Quarterly is internationally renowned for it unique blend of literary criticism, cultural studies, poetry and fiction. The journal addresses the whole range of cultural forms so that discussions of, for example, cinema and television can appear alongside analyses of the accepted literary canon. It is a necessary condition of debate in these areas that it should involve as many and as varied voices as possible, and Critical Quarterly welcomes submissions from new researchers and writers as well as more established contributors.

English Literary Renaissance

English Literary Renaissance is a journal devoted to current criticism and scholarship of Tudor and early Stuart English literature, 1485-1665, including Shakespeare, Spenser, Donne, and Milton. It is unique in featuring the publication of rare texts and newly discovered manuscripts of the period and current annotated bibliographies of work in the field. It is illustrated with contemporary woodcuts and engravings of Renaissance England and Europe.

First appearing in 1999, Leviathan was created by John Bryant and is open to all scholarly, historicist, critical, and pedagogical approaches.

Milton Quarterly

Milton Quarterly publishes in-depth articles, review essays, and shorter notes and notices about Milton’s works, career, literary surroundings, and place in cultural history. In striving to be the most reliable and up-to-date source of information about John Milton, it also furnishes reports on conferences, abstracts of recent scholarship, and book reviews by prominent scholars in the field. While its scholarly standard for submissions is high, it insists upon accessibility from all contributors.

Orbis Litterarum publishes peer reviewed, original articles on matters of general and comparative literature, genre and period, as well as analyses of specific works bearing on issues of literary theory and literary history.

Poe Studies

Poe Studies provides a forum for dialogue about Edgar Allan Poe’s life and writings, and about the cultural and material contexts that shaped the production and reception of his work. The editors wish to define “Poe studies” broadly—to include articles that engage the period in which Poe wrote, writers with whom he was affiliated or whom he inspired, theoretical and philosophical issues raised by his work, and artistic movements associated with him, such as Gothicism, detective fiction, symbolism, and metafiction. The journal invites submissions of original articles and notes, welcomes work grounded in a wide range of theoretical and critical perspectives, and encourages inquiries proposing submissions and projects.

The journal’s pages have, for almost a century, been filled with the most exhilarating and astute writing of our times. Under the editorship of J. D. McClatchy, himself a prize-winning poet, The Yale Review presents up-and-coming writers, explores the broader movements in American thought, science, and culture, and reviews the best new books in a variety of fields.
