Welcome

Welcome to SEL Studies in English Literature 1500–1900, a journal of historical and critical studies published quarterly for Rice University by Johns Hopkins University Press. SEL seeks essays that make original, readable contributions to literary criticism across four centuries of British literature: English Renaissance, Tudor and Stuart Drama, Restoration and Eighteenth Century, and Nineteenth Century. We invite innovative work of the highest caliber from literary scholars internationally at any stage of their careers, and we especially welcome submissions from historically excluded perspectives.
