About the journal
Literature & History is a biannual international refereed journal concerned to investigate the relations between writing, history and ideology. It provides an open forum for practitioners coming from the distinctive vantage points of either discipline (or from other adjacent subject areas) to explore issues of common concern: period, content, gender, class, nationality, changing sensibilities, discourse and language. Unique in its essentially plural identity, Literature & History began publication in 1975 and since 1992 has appeared under the imprint of Manchester University Press. Special issues devoted to a particular period or theme (produced under guest editorship) are published from time to time. Literature & History is a well known, theoretically self-conscious, and much referred to landmark in interdisciplinary studies and has consistently attracted contributions of high calibre.

possible between number spans.
• Dates are written in full: 31 January 1678.
• Spell out nineteenth century but 1800s. Use 1890s, not nineties, 90s or 90s. Remember that 19th
Century, 19th century and other variations should be written as nineteenth century without capitals or
numbers BUT hyphenate when adjectival, e.g. authors in the nineteenth century but nineteenthcentury
authors .

• Years are elided to two digits: 1674¨C89, 1674¨C77, 1674¨C1723.
• Apostrophe usage: Thomas s, Jones s, but Moses , Bridges , i.e. when the word ending is pronounced
.use an apostrophe only.
• Name initials should have full points and should be spaced (T. S. Eliot).
• For special sorts that cant be reproduced on your word processor, use another unique symbol or
combination of symbols and indicate what special sort it symbolises and where it appears.
Quotations
• Quotations of less than c. 30 words should be integrated (i.e. run on in the text) and placed in single
quotation marks. Use double quotation marks for quotes within these quotes. If the source appears with
the quote, place it in parentheses after the closing quotation mark but before the final full point.
• Quotations of above c. 30 words can be extracted (i.e. begun on a new line and indented) with one line
space above and below and no quotation marks unless its direct speech. If the extract source appears
with the quote it should run on from the last line of the extract in parentheses immediately after the
closing full point, or should be footnoted.
• Use an ellipsis (a row of dots with a space in between each) to indicate missing material from quotations.
DONT use ellipses at the beginning or end of quotes however, unless the sense would be affected
otherwise, i.e. NOT this quote Use three dots for material missing from within a quotation, but if
the quotation takes in more than one sentence, use four dots to show material missing at the end of a
sentence, i.e.quote . . . . Quote
• If a verse quotation is integrated, use a stroke / to indicate a line break.
• Any raised letters/superscripts in quotes should be clear.
• When quotation marks enclose less than a complete sentence, the closing quote should precede the
final punctuation.
• When quotation marks enclose a complete sentence, the closing quote should follow the final
punctuation.
Numbers
• Spell out numbers below 100, use digits for numbers over 100. Exceptions. Use digits for numbers in a
mixed sequence (i.e. under and over 100). Use digits for numbers giving exact measurements or units
such as 7 kg, 15.8 mm, 5 p.m. (but words for five o clock ). Phrases involving hundreds, thousands,
millions, should be written (#a thousand people ). Where round numbers are given (e.g. two hundred,
fifteen thousand) they should be written.
• Units of measurement: no to appear in plural (5 kg not 5 kgs). If pre-decimal currency is used, follow
this style: £5 15s 6d.
• Always put a number on either side of a decimal point, e.g., 0.6 (not .6).
Abbreviations/punctuation/spacing
• Uncommon abbreviations should be avoided, or explained at their first occurrence.
• & may be used for names of companies, institutions, etc. (Faber & Faber). Otherwise use and .
• cf. (not italic). Note that cf. means compare , not ¡ see .
• fos for folios , not ff. which means following .
• ll. ( lines ) should be avoided as it can be confused with roman numeral II or arabic 11: spell out instead.
• per cent (not percent): use % only in tables.
• v. not vs. (roman, not italic).
• Use full points after abbreviations (e.g., i.e., etc., ibid., v., Ph.D., vol., p.m., Prof., Rev., ed.) but not for
per cent (two words). Exceptions. After units of measurement (kg, mm, cm). Contractions where the first
and last letters are given: vols, eds, Dr, Mrs, Mr, Ltd. Initials (BBC, DNA, GMT, NATO, USA, ICI, TV).

poems.
• Use italic for titles of paintings and sculpture, names of ships; species and varieties; foreign terms and
phrases (except anglicised terms, such as elite role , naive , which should appear without accents, and
except for those phrases which are quotations); names of parties in legal cases (but leave the v. in
roman, e.g. Churchill v. Wilson); directions to the reader and stage directions, such as see also and
above; ibid., et al., c. (NB do not use ca.), but via, vice versa, i.e., e.g. are roman.
• As a general rule, avoid using bold type ¨C headings will be marked up later and should be in roman (use
different typesizes to distinguish different levels of heading); if emphasis is required, italic is preferred.

or craftsperson, not craftsman; firefighters not firemen; manufactured, not manmade; ancestors, not

• Use he or she , her or him (note alphabetical order); do not refer to objects or places (such as ships
and countries as she : use it ).
• Be specific and accurate when referring to a racial, ethnic or national group. The word aborigine signifies
the original inhabitants of any country; for native Australians use Aborigine with a capital A.
• Afro-Caribbean, African or black African etc., are preferable.
• Asian covers the whole of Asia, not just India and Pakistan: be more specific if possible.
• Avoid coloured people : specify racial/ethnic origin.
• Eskimo: use Inuit instead.

Black and white half-tones and line drawings
• Inclusion of illustrations is only possible with the prior agreement of the Editors and Publishers.
• For illustrations you must supply one of the following:
1. an original that we can scan and reproduce. This is always the preferred option. Black and white
originals should be supplied as glossy black and white prints such as those rented from photo
libraries. We can also accept transparencies, slides, original photographs, etc. Line drawings should
be supplied as bromides, black and white prints or finished artwork.
2. a non-half-tone image that can be redrawn. For example simple maps, bar charts, line graphs, etc.
can be included in your manuscript (done in Word or enclosed as photocopies for example) and can
be redrawn by our typesetter.
3. if you are unable to send us an original (e.g. if it cannot leave the country) but you are able to scan it
yourself and send us the scan, you must ensure that the scan is preferably black and white, has a
resolution of 300 dpi and is of a reasonable size and clarity. (A scan of a terrible original will merely
result in a terrible scan). Please apply this same criteria to any jpegs, TIFFs etc, which you may wish
to include. Feel free to email images to me at greg.thorpe@man.ac.uk and I will advise on their
suitability. Non-original images can only be run at our discretion so please make finding originals a
priority. Bear in mind that images pulled off the Internet are rarely usable and difficult to get copyright
for. A print-out from a scan is not acceptable. It is understood that originals incur rental fees so they
will be scanned and returned promptly.
• You must supply a photocopy or printout of each illustration. All originals must be numbered as Fig 1, 2
etc. (including slides and transparencies); please use a small sticker on the back of the illustration (don¡¯t
use post-it notes on the front as they can easily be lost and can leave a mark; avoid writing on the back
of prints). If an illustration actually consists of more than one picture, put the number in brackets (e.g.
Fig. 1 (a¨Cc)). Photocopies must be numbered identically to the originals (just write the number on the
front of the photocopy).
• If you wish to provide guidance on the relative importance of the illustrations, please indicate this on the
photocopy e.g. full-page , half-page , etc. and give any relevant information, e.g. importance of detail or
cropping.
• Please include, on a separate sheet, a list of your illustrations (Fig 1, 2 etc.), a corresponding list of
captions and a credit/permission line for each image. All permissions should be cleared before
submission of the typescript.
