Submission Guidelines:

Nineteenth-Century Gender Studies is published three times a year—spring, fall and a specially-themed summer issue—and accepts both scholarly articles and book reviews year-round. We welcome articles of 5,000-8,000 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 both: Stacey Floyd (floydse@tiffin.edu) and Melissa Purdue (melissa.purdue@mnsu.edu). To facilitate the blind peer review process, please send two files—one with your article absent of all identifying information and another with your brief biographical note.  Please do not submit articles under consideration simultaneously at other journals.

Nineteenth-Century Gender Studies publishes a diverse range of book reviews including short reviews of single works, multiple book reviews, 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 our Reviews Editor, Miriam Burstein, at: mburstei@brockport.edu

If you are interested in guest editing a special summer issue, please contact the editors.
