The editors of Nineteenth-Century Gender Studies welcome submissions for the
Spring 2006 issue of this peer-reviewed, online journal.

Nineteenth-Century Gender Studies is committed to publishing insightful and
innovative scholarship on gender studies and nineteenth-century British
literature, art and culture. The journal is a collaborative effort that
brings together advanced graduate students and scholars from a variety of
universities to create a unique voice in the field. We endorse a broad
definition of gender studies and welcome submissions that consider gender
and sexuality in conjunction with race, class, place and nationality.

The journal is published twice a year (April/ November) and accepts both
scholarly articles and book reviews year-round. We welcome articles of
4,000-8,000 words on gender studies and British literature, art and culture
during the long nineteenth century. Submissions should be in MLA format and
must include a brief biographical note which will be posted if accepted for
publication. Please send an electronic version of your submission in Word
to: Stacey Floyd (sefloy2_at_uky.edu) and Melissa Purdue (mpurd2_at_uky.edu). To
facilitate the peer review process, please send two files—one with your
article absent of all identifying information and another with your brief
biographical note.

Possible topics include, but are certainly not limited to:

Gender informed (Feminist/Queer Theory/Masculinity Studies/etc.) readings of
literature, authors/artists or works of art
Gender and empire
Gender and class
Gender and medicine
Gender and law

Nineteenth-Century Gender Studies also plans to publish a diverse range of

short review essays (devoted to 2 or more recent books on a single topic),
and full-length review essays (assessing recent developments in established
or emerging areas of nineteenth-century studies). Scholars interested in
reviewing recent publications should contact the Reviews Editor, Lauren
Goodlad, at lgoodlad_at_uiuc.edu

To be considered for our Spring 2006 issue, submissions must be received by
