Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that submissions are open for the upcoming Special Issue, Echoes of Shakespeare: Intertextual Dialogues across Centuries. The Guest Editor, Rachel Wifall (Saint Peter’s University), welcomes articles that consider how the works of William Shakespeare have informed other artists and thinkers over time. Literature (ISSN 2410-9789) provides an advanced forum for studies related to the literature of all times and places. It publishes reviews, regular research papers, and short communications, as well as Special Issues on particular subjects. For this Special Issue, studies in intertextuality, adaptation, and appropriation are encouraged, from diverse fields such as history, philosophy, theater, music, film, and media studies. Since Shakespeare remains the most influential and most adapted English author, this issue aims to update the ongoing conversation between the works of Shakespeare and subsequent generations. While papers considering contemporary literature and other art forms are encouraged, studies are welcome that look back into history, as far as the seventeenth century.
We request that, prior to submitting a manuscript, interested authors initially submit a proposed title and an abstract of 200-300 words summarizing their intended contribution. Please send it to the Guest Editor, Dr. Rachel Wifall (rwifall@saintpeters.edu), and CC the Section Managing Editor of Literature, Ms. Joyce Xi (joyce.xi@mdpi.com). The guest editor will review abstracts for the purpose of ensuring a proper fit within the scope of the Special Issue. Full manuscripts will undergo double-blind peer review.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
