PQ is an international refereed journal that welcomes submissions on any aspect of medieval European and modern literature and culture. Special issues on particular themes, under guest editorship, also appear regularly in our pages, as do solicited book reviews. Some of the articles we publish pay close attention to textual detail, while others take textuality itself as a central analytical category, a realm that includes physical bibliography, the sociology of knowledge, the history of reading, reception studies, and other fields of inquiry. To be published in PQ a manuscript should be persuasive in its claims, careful in its handing of evidence, accessible in its wrtten style, and current in its consideration of relevant scholarship.

Philological Quarterly (ISSN 0031-7977) is issued by the University of Iowa, Department of English, in Winter, Spring, Summer, and Fall.   For current subscriptions and back issues contact Publications Order Department, University of Iowa, 2222 Old Hwy 218 S., Iowa City, IA 52242, Phone - 319-384-3808, Fax - 319-384-3918, E-mail - debra-harland@uiowa.edu.
