Early Modern Dis/Locations: Special Issue of Philological Quarterly
In collaboration with Alvin Snider, we intend to publish a special issue of Philological Quarterly (ISSN
0031-7977) dedicated to themes and texts discussed in papers at the conference.
The organisers of the conference, and editors of this special issue, would therefore welcome
submissions of fuller versions of your conference presentation for consideration in the journal.
Published by The University of Iowa, Department of English, in Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall,
Philological Quarterly is an international refereed journal that welcomes submissions on any aspect of
medieval European and modern literature and culture.
Special issues on particular themes, under
guest editorship, also appear regularly in its pages, as do solicited book reviews. Some of the articles
published in the journal pay close attention to textual detail, while others take textuality itself as a
central analytical category, a realm that includes physical bibliography, the sociology of knowledge,
the history of reading, reception studies, and other fields of inquiry. To be published in Philological
Quarterly a manuscript should be persuasive in its claims, careful in its handling of evidence,
accessible in its written style, and current in its consideration of relevant scholarship.
Please submit articles by email as Word attachments, with 250 word abstracts, to Adam Hansen
([email protected]), by March 31st 2010. It is advisable to consult the Instructions
for Contributors on the journal website in advance of submission (http://english.uiowa.edu/pq/).
