Guidelines for Contributors
Texas Studies in Literature and Language invites essays, including some at monograph length, that contribute to our understanding of a significant subject. Essays should be stylistically precise and rich and critically contextualized, whether in carrying forward the contemporary criticism of the subject or in questioning its terms. For occasional issues devoted to special topics, we call for papers well in advance. We do not accept notes (generally, manuscripts of less than seventeen pages), and we accept reviews only in the form of essay-length, well-argued articles examining the basic assumptions involved in contemporary critical thinking about a given topic. Please note we will review only one submission per author per year. A stamped self-addressed envelope should accompany all submissions. Please also include an e-mail address and FAX number, if available. Receipt of a manuscript is acknowledged. Before an essay is approved for publication, it must receive strong recommendations from at least two readers and from the editors. We try hard to keep this process down to three months, though sometimes various exigencies delay our response. Acceptable formats for essays are the Chicago Manual of Style or the MLA Style Manual. Manuscripts must be double-spaced throughout, and notes should be numbered consecutively and grouped on pages separate from the text. Blind submission form please. Please send two copies of the manuscript to the Editors, Texas Studies in Literature & Language, Dept. of English, 1 University Station B5000, The University of Texas, Austin, TX 78712-0195. Manuscripts originating outside the continental United States may be sent via e-mail to tsll@uts.cc.utexas.edu.
