New England Quarterly

Aims & Scope

For over ninety years, The New England Quarterly (NEQ) has published the best that has been written on New England’s cultural, literary, political, and social history.

Contributions cover a range of time periods, from before European colonization to the present, and discuss subjects germane to New England’s history—for example, the region’s literary and artistic productions, its political practice and philosophies, race relations, labor struggles, religious controversies, and the organization of family life.

The journal also aims to link regional history and literary cultures to broader scholarly studies by encouraging work that treats the migration of ideas, people, and institutions from New England to other parts of the United States and the world.

In addition to major essays, features include memoranda and edited documents, reconsiderations of traditional texts and interpretations, and book reviews.
