The English Association - over 100 years at the forefront of English

The sixth issue of Peer English, a refereed annual journal produced jointly by the Department of English at the University of Leicester and the English Association, is now available.

As the journal of new critical thinking, our aim is to provide a forum for exciting and high-quality work by early career researchers. We especially welcome submissions, therefore, from lecturers, assistant or associate professors, senior graduate students, or post-doctoral researchers or teachers.

We aim to interpret ‘literary studies’ as broadly as possible. Our approach is open and inclusive; we encourage work that considers any literary period, and deploys the whole range of critical strategies used in the discipline today, from traditional close readings, to historically-grounded scholarship and cutting-edge theoretical or interdisciplinary analyses.
