SEL Studies in English Literature

Author Guidelines

SEL invites historical and critical essays of moderate length (ca. 6250 words including endnotes) that contribute significantly to the understanding of English literature, 1500-1900. Typescripts should be double-spaced throughout, including inset quotations and endnotes, and should be prepared in conformity with The Chicago Manual of Style, 15^th Edition. Please do not submit computer disk until final revisions of accepted articles are complete. We will not consider articles being simultaneously submitted elsewhere, nor will we print essays to appear in a book published within a year of scheduled publication by SEL. Those wishing to omit their identities from manuscripts may do so, but should include a cover letter. Please supply an abstract of 100 or fewer words with your paper.
