New Literary History

Publisher: John Hopkins University Press
ISSN: 0028-6087 / 1080-661X

Description:


New Literary History focuses on theory and interpretation--the reasons for literary change, the definitions of periods, and the evolution of styles, conventions, and genres. NLH has always resisted short-lived trends and subsuming ideologies. By delving into the theoretical bases of practical criticism, the journal reexamines the relation between past works and present critical and theoretical needs. A major international forum for scholarly interchange, NLH has brought into English many of todays foremost theorists whose works had never before been translated. Under Ralph Cohens continuous editorship, NLH has become what he envisioned twenty-five years ago: a journal that is a challenge to the profession of letters.
