Studies in Scottish Literature
Studies in Scottish Literature is launching a new series beginning in 2012. The journal will continue to be published from the University of South Carolina as an annual volume, of 240-300 pages, open to contributions on all periods and genres of Scottish literature. It will continue, too, to welcome articles that explore the interrelations between Scottish literature and other literatures, and between traditionally literary approaches and research undertaken from other disciplinary perspectives.
Along with continuity, the new series will highlight some new initiatives. Each volume will include a substantial cluster of articles on a special issue or topic, beginning with current trends and opportunities in Scottish literary studies. In addition, each volume will be open to a selection of papers not on the special topic, to avoid over-long delay in publishing regular acceptances. In place of standard reviews of individual monographs, the journal will feature review-essays that show scholarly developments in a specific area of interest. And SSL will continue its tradition of including articles or notes making available significant manuscripts or documents. SSL would like to thank the Irvin Department of Rare Books & Special Collections and the Department of English for their generous support.
