Early Middle English (launched 2019) is a peer-reviewed journal devoted to English literature and its contexts ca. 1100–1350. It takes a wide view of this lively period of literary experimentation, linguistic change, and multilingual interaction in England. The journal seeks articles (of any length) on early Middle English language and literature (including assessments of the state of the field); the multicultural, international, and multilingual contexts of early Middle English; the backgrounds, scholarly history, and afterlives of early Middle English; or theoretical interventions in areas such as gender, sexuality, race, disability, ecocriticism, and interdisciplinarity. We particularly welcome work on multilingual interaction (e.g., with Welsh, Hebrew, French, etc) or multilingual texts and manuscripts; contexts not traditionally part of early Middle English studies (e.g., Anglo-Jewish literature and history); or interdisciplinary perspectives (e.g., medical texts, scholastic contexts, or linguistics). Early Middle English proudly supports ECRs, doctoral students, and any new work in the field. We are also interested in: review essays, editions, notes, and short analyses, and proposals for thematic ("special") issues. The editor and publisher (Arc Humanities Press) can normally keep to a 6-month publication timeline.  For inquiries or submissions, contact: Adrienne Williams Boyarin (University of Victoria). Note: Early Middle English is published through Project MUSE (https://muse.jhu.edu/journal/750), and all its articles are OA after 18 months.
