| Information for Contributors |
ELT, in its fifty-third year of publication, has a large audience of scholars and general readers worldwide via online services such as Project Muse, MetaPress, Ebsco’s Periodicals for Public Libraries, and ProQuest that reach research, college, community college, and public libraries, as well as individuals, a "new audience" that prefers the online format. Print, print and online, online only: all are available to the ELT readership. The journal publishes articles on fiction, poetry, drama, or subjects of cultural interest in the 1880–1920 period of British literature. Submissions are typically 20–30 double-spaced pages. While we publish reviews of books about Joseph Conrad, Thomas Hardy, Henry James, James Joyce, Ezra Pound, D. H. Lawrence, Virginia Woolf, and W. B. Yeats, we do not publish articles on such major figures unless the discussion is linked to less-prominent authors of the era. Dissertation or thesis chapters must be revised as articles before we will consider them for publication. We do not publish unsolicited book reviews. |
| Submission by E-Mail Attachment Preferred We prefer submissions by e–mail attachment. E–mail Robert Langenfeld and describe the contents of your essay. Attach the essay in one of these formats: Word, WordPerfect, RichText. |
| Submission by Post Submit two copies of the manuscript and a cover letter addressed to Robert Langenfeld that describes the contents of your essay. Since we send essays to readers via e–mail attachment, include a CD labeled with your name. Copies of submissions not accepted for publication will be discarded. The CD will be returned with a letter from the editor. |
| Decision & Documentation We respond in a timely fashion. Allow two–three months for a decision. Notes in the articles we publish follow our house style based on The Chicago Manual of Style (15th ed.). When submitted, if the documentation follows the dreary, cumbersome MLA format, not to worry. That will suffice for submission for publication. |
