New Literary History

New Literary History was founded as part of the Sesquicentennial Celebration of the University of Virginia in 1969. The journal welcomes two types of contributions: theoretical articles on literature that deal with such subjects as the nature of literary theory, the aims of literature, the idea of literary history, the reading process, hermeneutics, the relation of linguistics to literature, literary change, literary value, the definitions of periods and their uses in interpretations, the evolution of styles, conventions, and genres, and articles from other disciplines that help interpret or define the problems of literary history or literary study.

Contributions can deal with any literature and need not be in English; they should not exceed 5,000 words. Endnotes are used rather than bibliographies. Chicago Style is preferred. Manuscripts are submitted at the author's risk and will not be returned unless they are accompanied by stamped, self-addressed envelopes.
