E-journal Spotlight

Front cover of The Luminary

The Luminary

The Luminary is an open access journal, based at Lancaster University's Department of English and Creative Writing. Our aim is to provide a forum through which post-graduates and early career researchers, from any institution, can share their current research, make connections with other researchers and gain publication.

Although this journal is linked to the Department of English and Creative Writing, we are not limited to publishing papers within those disciplines. We welcome submissions from language studies, linguistics, cultural studies, film studies, sociology, humanities subjects, the arts, and inter-disciplinary research students among others. We publish annually on a wide variety of papers on a diverse range of topics, texts and theoretical perspectives (Provided by Publisher).

Twentieth-Century Literature

Focusing on literary-cultural production emerging from or responding to the twentieth century, broadly construed, Twentieth-Century Literature (TCL) offers essays, grounded in a variety of approaches, that interrogate and enrich the ways we understand the literary cultures of the times. This includes work considering how those cultures are bound up with the crucial intellectual, social, aesthetic, political, economic, and environmental developments that have shaped the early twenty-first century as well. TCL also publishes reviews of major studies in the field and awards the annual Andrew J. Kappel Prize in Literary Criticism (Provided by Publisher)
