Aims & Scope

This well-established journal with its two double volumes per year provides reviews of new works of literary scholarship from Romance, Slavonic, English and American Studies. An interdisciplinary board with representatives from all four subject areas guarantees the relevance of the reviews selected. Each volume contains detailed reviews of some 40 new publications. The reviews themselves advance the specialist debates. The language of publication normally follows that of the title reviewed. The journal focuses interdisciplinary topics in international literary studies and provides a quality forum for reviews in non-Germanic literary studies. Thus it provides an indispensable companion to the specialist periodicals in the individual disciplines and serves as a guide through the wealth of research debates and publications in literary studies.
