Romance Studies

Aims & Scope

Romance Studies, founded in 1982 by Valerie Minogue and Brian Nelson, is an international, fully refereed journal devoted to the study of the Romance literatures and cultures.

With a distinguished advisory panel representative of leading research across the disciplines, the journal is a forum for both established scholars and new researchers worldwide.

The editors offer constructive criticism where appropriate and advise young scholars and new contributors on the effective presentation of their material.

A single, broadly-defined theme provides the focus for most issues whilst articles on other subjects are also invited.

The journal encourages new theoretical engagements and is open to the full range of comparative and interdisciplinary approaches.
