Nineteenth-Century Prose invites submissions for a special issue on Matthew
Arnold. We encourage a wide range of topics focusing on prose works by
Arnold as well as topics related to broader issues regarding Arnold's
influence on literature (including individual authors), literary and
cultural studies, religious studies, and education. Arnold's current
standing in cultural studies or other academic fields is of particular
interest. Interdisciplinary approaches are welcomed. Submissions which
discuss both Arnold's poetry and prose are appropriate, but not those which
focus exclusively on poetry.
