We welcome studies on feminist and gender issues, on ethnic criticism as well as on new historicism and old. The aim of the journal is to provide a forum for sometimes competing theoretical views. We publish criticism in English and do not restrict the journal's scope in terms of period or nation. We encourage essays that synthesize ideology, art, and aesthetics and we discourage essays that are exclusively explication.
Essays accompanied by illustrations are especially welcome.
LIT assumes that submission of a paper implies that no other journal or publisher is currently considering the paper for publication in the form in which it is submitted. Papers should be submitted in triplicate. All submissions will be acknowledged and decided upon within three months. Copyright remains in the possession of the journal. The MLA Style Sheet is the preferred guide to the preparation of papers.
