Edith Wharton Review
The _Edith Wharton Review_ is currently seeking submissions. To be published by Penn State University Press in 2016, the _Edith Wharton Review_ is currently in its thirty-first year of publication and is indexed in the MLA Bibliography. We publish scholarship on Wharton, Wharton and related authors, and Wharton and late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century culture, more generally. The journal aims to foster new scholarship as well as established approaches to the author and her work.
Critical articles for consideration should be from 20 to 30 pages and use MLA-style endnotes, rather than footnotes. The journal follows a double-blind peer review process; thus, the author's name should not appear on the manuscript, only the cover letter. Please send cover letter and MS-Word attachment to Meredith Goldsmith (mgoldsmith@ursinus.edu). Authors must be members of the Edith Wharton Society at the time of publication.
Archival, pedagogical, and review essays may be shorter than 20 pages. Archival pieces highlight previously unpublished materials by Wharton, or those that help us gain new understanding of her life and work (letters about Wharton or members of her circle or family, or manuscripts referring to Wharton, for example). Pedagogical pieces should offer approaches taken to Wharton in the classroom. Review essays might be pieces on little-read works by Wharton and work by her associates; they might also focus on Wharton's status in contemporary culture. Authors wishing to submit such articles should query the Editor.
The journal reviews scholarship on Wharton as well as work on literature at the turn of the century, early-twentieth-century American literature, and American women's writing more generally. Inquiries regarding book reviews may be directed to: Emily Orlando (eorlando@fairfield.edu), Fairfield University.
