About the journal
Founded in 1951, by F. W. Bateson, Essays in Criticism soon achieved world-wide circulation, and is today regarded as one of Britain's most distinguished journals of literary criticism. Essays in Criticism covers the whole field of English Literature from the time of Chaucer to the present day. The journal maintains that originality in interpretation must be allied to the best scholarly standards. Moreover, whilst always pursuing new directions and responding to new developments, Essays in Criticism has kept a balance between the constructive and the sceptical, giving the journal particular value at a time when criticism has become so diversified. In addition to the articles, Essays in Criticism has lengthy and searching book reviews, and the 'Critical Opinion' section offers topical discussion on a wide range of literary issues

Articles for publication may be submitted through the ScholarOne Manuscripts website. Instructions on how to submit manuscripts are available here. Otherwise, correspondence should be sent to Seamus Perry at the editorial address below. The review pages are edited by Christopher Ricks.
Essays in Criticism is an Oxford journal, but it has a world-wide circulation and suitable articles from abroad are welcome. Decisions on acceptance are made as promptly as possible, and publication is usually within a year. Please refer to Style Points (listed below) for guidance.
The Editors reserve the right to amend the phrasing and punctuation in all articles and reviews. References should be worked into the text as far as possible, and end-notes kept to a minimum. Publication of an article or review is deemed to confer on its author the right to a half-share of any permission fee arising from that article's major re-use in critical anthologies etc., and the Publisher will use his best endeavours to pass this on.

Quotations
Prose:
In general, only display prose quotations of over c. 40 words. The first line should only be indented if a new paragraph begins in the original; otherwise, begin full left.
Avoid using ellipses at the start of quotes (whether displayed or run on in the text): it can be assumed that a prose quote isn't taken from the very start of a work.
Poetry:
Any length of quotation can be displayed, though if a lot of short quotations are given consider whether they may be better run on in the text. In run-on quotes, indicate line divisions with a solidus / with space either side.
Reference/Notes
Use references sparingly. At first citation give full details in a note (see templates below). Give place (= town) of publication unless it is London.
Subsequent references to frequently cited works should be given in parentheses in the text. Avoid using a bare number: (p. 99) (l. 300) not (99) (300).
