Literature and History

Aims & Scope

Published since 1975 and unique in its essentially plural identity, Literature & History provides an open forum for practitioners coming from the distinctive vantage points of either discipline (or from other adjacent subject areas) to explore issues of common concern: period, content, gender, class, nationality, changing sensibilities, discourse and language.

Special issues devoted to a particular period or theme (produced under guest editorship) are published from time to time.

Literature & History is a well known, theoretically self-conscious, and much referred to landmark in interdisciplinary studies and has consistently attracted contributions of high calibre.
