Anthem Studies in Critical Literary Geography presents cutting-edge examinations of the representation of geographical phenomena across diverse historical literary genres and documents. We publish challenging, theoretically informed analyses of land-based, oceanic, meteorological, and imaginative geographical elements of texts, spanning both factual and fictional realms. Encompassing all locations – including  for instance roads, fields, mountains, deserts, rivers, lakes, swamps, coastlines, seas, storm systems, planets, machine worlds and built environments – the series critically engages with the nuanced portrayal of these phenomena in fictional and non-fictional literature throughout various historical periods.

These suggestions are indicative rather than prescriptive and we welcome submissions of proposals for original works from emerging and established scholars. These may be for shorter or full length texts (30,000-100,000 words).

We aim to make prompt editorial decisions. Our titles are subject to peer review by experienced authorities in the field and are published in both digital and print editions.

Please send your proposal with a very brief biographical statement to Bill Angus at w.j.angus@massey.ac.nz and to proposal@anthempress.com. Deadline: ongoing
