Literature in the Early American Republic

Annual Studies on Cooper and His Contemporaries

Submission Guidelines
Literature in the Early American Republic is an annual, peer-reviewed journal that welcomes a wide range of submissions on the literary culture of the United States from the adoption of the Constitution in 1789 to the death of James Fenimore Cooper in 1851. We also seek submissions addressing (or establishing critical editions of) unpublished archival manuscripts (letters, diaries, poems, and other documents) of cultural or literary relevance to the period. Studies dealing with the work and influence of James Fenimore Cooper are especially welcome.

We prefer electronic submissions (with files in Microsoft Word), but contributors sending manuscripts via regular mail should provide three double-spaced copies accompanied by a self-addressed stamped envelope. Please format essays in accordance with The Chicago Manual of Style (15th edition), especially sections 16.3 and 16.41-49.

As all submissions undergo review by outside readers, the author’s name should appear only on the cover page. An author whose essay is selected for publication will be asked to provide a brief abstract and one copy of the article on disc, using the most recent version of Microsoft Word. Whenever available, authors should use as their primary texts those scholarly editions approved by the Modern Language Association Committee on Scholarly Editions. For example, in the case of Cooper, authors should use those editions approved by the “Writings of James Fenimore Cooper” and published by AMS Press and SUNY Press.

Please send electronic submissions to Matthew Wynn Sivils.
