Modern Language Quarterly (MLQ), established in 1940, is a quarterly, literary history journal, produced (housed) at the University of Washington and published by Duke University Press. The current editor, since 1993, is Marshall Brown (University of Washington).[1][2][3]
Scope
The focus of MLQ is all topics in literary history, which includes all genres, and all time periods. Theory and argument are presented with a chronological organizational structure. Literary works are considered in the context of their time. The focus encompasses papers on literary change in literary practice and the profession of literature. Topical coverage includes how literary change, or literary history, relates to feminism, ethnic studies, cultural materialism, discourse analysis, and cultural critiques. Literature as it occurs in history is seen as the demonstration and agent of change. Understanding how literature has an impact is emphasized. Publishing formats are scholarly essays and book reviews.[1][2][4][5]
