UPSTAGE, a peer-reviewed online publication dedicated
to research in turn-of-the-century dramatic literature,
theatre, and theatrical culture, seeks submissions for its second issue scheduled for the spring or summer of 2011.

This is a development of the pages published under this name as part of THE OSCHOLARS, and will henceforth be an
independently edited journal in the oscholars group
published at www.oscholars.com, as part of our expanding
coverage of the different cultural manifestations of the
fin de siècle.

Topics may include, but are not limited to, the work of
Shaw, Schnitzler, Ibsen, Chekhov, Strindberg, von
Hofmannsthal, and their contemporaries in Western and
Eastern Europe and beyond.

UPSTAGE welcomes a variety of theoretical and critical
methodologies.

We are interested in receiving:

Scholarly articles of approximately 3000 words
Book-reviews of approximately 500 words
Reports on work in progress (book manuscripts, Master’s theses, and doctoral dissertations) (approximately 500-1000 words)
Reviews of contemporary productions of turn-of-the-century plays (or plays about the turn of the nineteenth century) and announcements of future productions (approximately 500 words)

The publication is international in scope.

By February 15, 2011, please e-mail your submissions, as MS Word attachments only, to both

Dr. Helena Gurfinkel, Department of English Language and
Literature, Southern Illinois University Edwardsville,
Edwardsville, IL, USA at hgurfin@siue.edu

and
