More About Ashgate's Literary Studies List
Ashgate’s Literary Studies list features
rigorously peer-reviewed, high-quality original research by authors
from around the globe. We publish books from the medieval period
through the twentieth century, and are proud of the range and
innovativeness of topics represented. Integral to the list are a
number of series exploring timely and
topical themes.
Important development areas are:
- modernism/modernist studies;
- early American literature;
- the interrelationship between literature and the history of
science;
- religion in literature and culture;
- theatre history and performance studies;
- women’s/gender studies;
- Childhood studies;
- Transatlantic/Transnational Studies;
- book/publishing history and print culture.
Proposals for
single-author volumes and essay collections are welcome. In
addition, we encourage proposals and suggestions for essential
reference works—for example, single or multivolume collections of
groundbreaking essays on critical topics, bibliographical
resources, and research companions on
specialized subjects or canonical authors.
Commissioning editors for Literary Studies are
Erika Gaffney and Ann Donahue.
