THE JOURNAL OF MEDIEVAL AND EARLY MODERN STUDIES
Call for submissions for the upcoming Open-Topic Issue
Volume 32 / Number 2 / Spring 2002
For this open-topic issue of the journal, the editors invite articles
that are both informed by historical inquiry and alert to issues raised
by contemporary theoretical debate. We expect that essays will be
grounded in an intimate knowledge of a particular past and that their
argumentation reveal a concern for the theoretical and methodological
issues involved in interpretation. We are particularly committed to work
that seeks to overcome the polarization between "history" and "theory" in
the study of premodern Western culture.
Submission deadline (papers, not abstracts): 1 April 2001
Send two copies of the manuscript double-spaced, including endnotes,
following the style guidelines of the Chicago Manual of Style (14th ed.,
esp. chap. 15 on documentation). Papers accepted for publication will
need to be formatted more specifically, in hardcopy and diskcopy,
according to journal style. Any illustrations accompanying a manuscript
must be camera-ready, glossy prints and must be provided with permissions
for their reproduction no later than the submission deadline. For return
of manuscripts, please include an SASE. We do not consider articles that
have been published elsewhere or are under simultaneous consideration
with another publisher. Send to:
