Review of English Studies

Aims & Scope

The Review of English Studies was founded in 1925 to publish literary-historical research in all areas of English literature and the English language from the earliest period to the present.

From the outset, RES has welcomed scholarship and criticism arising from newly discovered sources or advancing fresh interpretation of known material.

Successive editors have built on this tradition while responding to innovations in the discipline and reinforcing the journal's role as a forum for the best new research.
