Studies in Eighteenth-Century Culture
Volume 40 Studies in Eighteenth-Century Culture (SECC) is an interdisciplinary annual volume that publishes significantly revised versions of papers read at national and regional conferences of the American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies and its affiliates during the 2008-09 academic year. SECC strives to feature the finest work in eighteenth-century studies and to represent ASECS’s wide range of disciplinary interests. The Editors encourage theoretically informed, academically rigorous essays that reflect new directions of research in the field. Essays from previously under-represented disciplines are particularly desired. Published for ASECS by Johns Hopkins University Press and now digitized as part of Project Muse, SECC is included in the membership fees of Sponsors and Patrons of the Society and is offered to all members at a substantial discount. Guidelines for Submission: Papers from all disciplines presented at regional and national meetings of ASECS and its affiliates between JULY 1, 2008 and JUNE 30, 2009 are eligible for consideration. Contributions will be judged according to the highest standards of scholarship. The editors of SECC will not consider papers already submitted to other journals. Papers must be substantially revised from their presentation version and scholarly apparatus must be added. All submissions should be written in English or other commonly-used modern European languages. Submissions typically average 20 to 25 double-spaced pages in length. Current editorial practice follows the Chicago Manual of Style. In accordance with SECC’s policy of blind submissions, author’s names should not appear on the manuscript; any references to the author’s previous work should be in the third person. Kindly submit FOUR COPIES of the paper. Photocopies of illustrations should also be submitted in quadruplicate. Please accompany the typescript with a self-addressed envelope and enough loose stamps to cover the cost of returning one copy of the paper. Please also include your e-mail address. The deadline for submission is August 21, 2009. Final decisions will be made by December 1, 2008. Please submit appropriately revised essays to: Downing A. Thomas If you have questions, please contact Downing A. Thomas (downing-thomas@uiowa.edu) Email submissions are not accepted, though it is helpful to have an electronic version of the typescript. |
