Jadavpur University Essays and Studies
Jadavpur University Essays and Studies is the journal
of the Department of English, Jadavpur University.
Published once a year, the journal is broadly
concerned with scholarship and research in literatures
in English, and their relation to other literatures,
literary theory, literary history, and language. It
does not publish fiction, poetry and plays or their
translations, and does not, as a rule, carry notes,
letters and reviews. The editors may, however, invite
and publish any material deemed appropriate. All
original material published is copyright of the
publishers. All submissions and commercial enquiries
should be addressed to the Head of the Department of
English, Jadavpur University, Kolkata 700 032, India.
Contributions will go through a process of referral.
Unsolicited manuscripts will not be returned unless
accompanied by return postage.

A few broad guidelines for contributors are given
below:

1. Contributors need to provide two hard copies of the
text and a virus-free soft copy (preferably in
editable MS Word 97 or later, or Rich Text Format) by
email or on removable media. Please do not send PDF
files. Also send a separate file containing a
copy-paste of the endnote text in the correct numbered
sequence, for reference. We will not accept
hand-written or manually typed articles.
2. The title of the article should be in capitals.
3. Since articles will be refereed, contributors are
advised not to sign the hard copies but to put their
names in capitals on a detachable title-sheet along
with their institutional affiliation, address for
correspondence, telephone, fax numbers and email
address.
4. All of the above information should be in the soft
copy file before the body of the article (it will be
cut-pasted into a separate file before refereeing.)
5. The text of the article including all quotations
should be double-spaced. Endnotes, as brief as
possible, should also be double-spaced and printed on
a separate sheet in the hard copy. Do not run them on
with the body of the article.
6. Details should be given in the following order when
a work is cited for the first time: Author's name,
comma, Title (italicised) open parenthesis, place of
publication, colon, publisher, comma, year of
publication, end parenthesis, comma, p(p). page
number(s).
Example: Kitty W. Scoular, Natural Magic: Studies in
the Presentation of Nature in English Poetry from
Spenser to Marvell (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1965),
pp.65-7.
In case of a reprint or subsequent edition, open
parenthesis, give the date of the first edition,
followed by a semi-colon, reprint or edition details,
place of publication, colon, publisher, comma, year of
publication, end parenthesis, comma, p(p). page no(s).
Example: Colin Watson, Snobbery with Violence, (1971,
corr. repr. London: Eyre Methuen, 1987) p.123.
Subsequent mentions may use the abbreviated form as
shown below:
Scoular, Natural Magic, p. 64.
7. For references to articles in journals, collections
and anthologies, the following style may be used:
Huston, Diehl, 'Horrid Image, Sorry Sight, Fatal
Vision: The Visual Rhetoric in Macbeth', Shakespeare
Studies 16(1983): 191-203.
Please do not abbreviate journal titles.
8. Anthologies should be cited by title, followed by
names of editor(s), translators if any, and
publication details as for a book.
9. Full citation details are to be provided for other
sources such as facsimiles, newspaper articles,
interviews, material on microfilm, websites (page
title, stable URL, date accessed), etc.
10. For act, scene and line references to plays, the
italicised title should be followed by a comma, act
no., in capital roman numerals, stop, scene no in
lower case roman numerals, stop, line no(s) in arabic
numerals. Example: Macbeth, III.iii.3.
11. Titles of constituent sections of larger works, or
essays, or poems, or short stand-alone fiction, should
be placed within single quotation marks. As a rule,
single quotation marks should be used in all cases
except for quotations within quotations which should
be within double quotation marks.
12. Quotations not exceeding 25 words may be run on
with the text and be put within single quotation
marks. Other quotations should be displayed in blocks
with right and left indents. All quotations should
follow the original exactly in respect of spelling,
capitalisation, italicisation, punctuation etc.
13. Charts, tables, figures and illustrations should
be placed in a separate file and on a separate page.
Authors will be responsible for negotiating permission
if and where necessary for reproducing illustrations
etc.
14. British spellings are preferred to American
alternatives. Quotations should follow the spellings
in the sources.
