About the journal
 Recent Americanist scholarship has generated some of the most forceful responses to questions about literary history and theory. Yet too many of the most provocative essays have been scattered among a wide variety of narrowly focused publications. Covering the study of US literature from its origins through the present, American Literary History provides a much-needed forum for the various, often competing voices of contemporary literary inquiry.
Along with an annual special issue, the journal features essay-reviews, commentaries, and critical exchanges. It welcomes articles on historical and theoretical problems as well as writers and works. Inter-disciplinary studies from related fields are also invited.

OPEN ACCESS OPTION FOR AUTHORS
American Literary History welcomes essays concerned with the idea and development of a national literature; the social, economic, and political aims of American literature; literary change, the definition of genres, and periodicity; gender studies, canon formation, and ethnic and native American issues; the reading process, reception, and the institution of American criticism; interdisciplinary approaches; and the linguistic, hermeneutical, and metacritical inquiries that American literary study raises. The journal also welcomes articles from other disciplines that help interpret problems in American criticism. Contributions may exceed standard length. Each year the summer issue is devoted to a single topic selected by the editors.

AUTHOR SELF-ARCHIVING/PUBLIC ACCESS POLICY FROM MAY 2005
For information about this journal's policy, please visit our Author Self-Archiving policy page.
MANUSCRIPT PREPARATION
Manuscripts should be typewritten with wide margins on 8.5 x 11-inch bond paper. All material should be double-spaced including notes, references, extracts, poetry, and figure legends. Do not divide words at the ends of lines. Each section of the manuscript should begin on a separate page. The title page should include the author's address and telephone number, as well as fax number and e-mail address if available. Assemble the sections in the following order:
title page
text
notes
works cited
figure legends
Acknowledgments should appear as the first (unnumbered) note. In general the journal follows the recommendations of the MLA Style Manual. For specific instructions on style contact the editorial office at the address below.
FIGURE PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS
The journal encourages the submission of suitable illustrations. Prepare your figures at print publication quality resolution, using applications capable of generating high-resolution .tif files (600 d.p.i. for line drawings and 300 d.p.i. for color and halftone artwork). The printing process requires your figures to be in this format if your paper is accepted for publication. For useful information on preparing figures visit http://dx.sheridan.com, where you can also test whether your figures are suitable for production by using the preflight tool at http://dx.sheridan.com/onl/. Please also prepare a second version of your figures at low-resolution for use in the review process; these versions of the figures can be saved in .jpg, .gif, .tif, or .eps format. Your figures will need to be in final format, with all cropping already done. For more information regarding figure requirements and preparation, please go to http://www.oxfordjournals.org/for_authors/figures.html.
Authors are responsible for obtaining permission to reprint extracts and reproduce illustrations. The permissions forms should be supplied with the final manuscript. All necessary credits and acknowledgments should be included in the figure legends.
MANUSCRIPT SUBMISSIONS
Authors should submit an original and two copies of their manuscripts to the editor:
Gordon Hutner
Department of English
Rm. 208 English Building
University of Illinois
608 S. Wright St.
Urbana, IL 61801-3668
USA
Authors may request that their papers be forwarded to reviewers anonymously. Manuscripts cannot be returned unless accompanied by a stamped, self-addressed envelope.
SUBMITTING MANUSCRIPTS ON DISK
Once a manuscript has been accepted for publication, authors are requested to submit a disk containing the final, revised version of their manuscript. Since nearly all manuscripts require some revision, disks should not be sent with the initial submission. The disk should be labeled with the date, the author's name, the file name, and the software and hardware used. Along with the disk, authors should submit hard copy in triplicate that matches the contents of the disk exactly and complies with the guidelines for manuscript preparation above. The cover letter should include a statement that the electronic file matches the hard copy of the manuscript.
The disk format may be IBM-compatible or Macintosh, though IBM is preferred. Most standard word-processing formats are acceptable. A file prepared in an unusual format should be saved in ASCII form on an IBM-compatible disk.
The electronic file should be prepared accurately, consistently, and simply, avoiding the use of special fonts or elaborate formatting for aesthetics. Paragraphs should be formatted the same way throughout. Notes should be typed as endnotes in regular text format; do not use software footnote or endnote features. The lowercase "ell" (l) and the numeral one (1), and the capital "oh" (O) and the numeral zero (0), should be used correctly, not interchangeably.
The electronic file is considered final material. Any inconsistencies and typographical errors in the electronic file that must be changed in proof will be charged as author's alterations.
