Theatre Survey
Telory D. Arendell, Missouri State University
Theatre Survey is chartered by the American Society for Theatre Research as a theatre history journal. Its theatrical and historical orientations are broadly conceived. Performance-centered and historiographic studies from all points across the historical, cultural, and methodological spectra are welcome. Recent issues have included an article on traces of Pantomime Harlequinade, memories of wars and revolutions in Wang Chong's theatre, a study of Njoki McElroy's key position in the shift from Oral Interpretation to Performance Studies, and an essay on audience participation as postdramatic discourse. Our scholars' subjects are international and interdisciplinary. Their work re-members historical theatre and stretches archival definition to include oral, visual, and written accounts.

Literary Imagination
Paul Franz
Literary Imagination is a forum for all those interested in the distinctive nature, uses, and pleasures of literature, from ancient to modern, in all languages. Its aim is to encourage wide-ranging discussions between those committed to the reading and study of literary works, including poetry, fiction, translations, drama, non-fiction essays, and criticism, along with the literary dimensions of other arts, such as film, painting, and music. The Journal seeks to develop a healthy environment for academic literary study and for the literary culture that extends beyond the academy. The Journal welcomes literary scholars, both academic and independent; teachers of literature in colleges, universities, and secondary schools; poets, novelists, playwrights, actors, and directors; translators, journalists, critics, editors, and publishers; and all other serious students of literature.

Victorian Poetry
Devin Garofalo, University of North Texas
Founded in 1962 to further the aesthetic study of the poetry of the Victorian Period in Britain (1830–1914), Victorian Poetry publishes articles from a broad range of theoretical and critical angles, including but not confined to new historicism, feminism, and social and cultural issues. The journal has expanded its purview from the major figures of Victorian England (Tennyson, Browning, the Rossettis, etc.) to a wider compass of poets of all classes and gender identifications in nineteenth-century Britain and the Commonwealth.
