Contributions are
now invited for the 2013 edition of the MHRA Working Papers in the Humanities,
an international, refereed online journal, aimed at postgraduate and
early-career researchers. See attachment for full details.
How does society
construct its literary heroes? From the works studied in schools and by
scholars, to the authors commemorated in the Panthéon; from ancient texts
reproduced throughout time, to twenty-first-century novels hailed as ‘modern
classics’ by their first reviewers; all of these rely on the assumption that
there is some sort of consensus on what makes a text or an author worthy of
being remembered. What, though, are the criteria that enable individuals or
their works to enter this illustrious company? The editors invite submissions
on the theme of Fame and glory, across the literatures and cultures of Europe.*
If you are
considering submitting, please let us know by email as soon as possible.
Articles, in English, of around 4000 words, should be sent to the Postgraduate
Editors at postgrads@mhra.org.uk by 7 September 2013. Those selected
for further consideration will then undergo a process of peer review, and the
volume will be published online at the end of the year.
*N.B. History,
library studies, education and pedagogical subjects, and the medical
application of linguistics are excluded.
