Past Issues
Early English Studies (EES) is a new online journal under the auspices of the University of Texas at Arlington English Department and is devoted to literary and cultural topics of study in the medieval and early modern periods. EES’s Inaugural issue, Elizabeth I and Her Literary World features UT Arlington graduates students and appeared early summer 2008. All subsequent issues have been published annually, peer-reviewed, and open to general submission. Our next issue, as Early Modern Studies Journal, will be called Shakespeare and Performance. To maintain our commitment to UT Arlington students, we will publish one prize essay from a UTA graduate student in each issue. The editors of each issue will consist of one UT Arlington English department faculty member and one UT Arlington graduate student.
