Current Issue: Shakespeare and the Material World
Early English Studies (EES) is an online journal under the auspices of the University of Texas, Arlington English Department and is devoted to literary and cultural topics of study in the medieval and early modern periods. EES is published annually, peer-reviewed, and open to general submission. The current issue Shakespeare and the Material World concerns issues of materiality in the works of Shakespeare and the Early Modern period.
In 2012, we will be changing our name from Early English Studies to Early Modern Studies Journal to reflect more accurately the articles we have been publishing.
The 2012 volume of Early Modern Studies Journal will focus on “Shakespeare and Performance.” Please see cfp for more information about next year's volume.
