The Hazlitt Review

ISSN 1757-8299

The Hazlitt Society is pleased to announce the publication of The Hazlitt Review, an annual peer-reviewed journal, the first internationally to be devoted to Hazlitt studies. The Review aims to promote and maintain Hazlitt’s standing, both in the academy and to a wider readership, by providing a forum for new writing on Hazlitt, by established scholars as well as more recent entrants in the field. We now invite, for the 2012 issue, scholarly essays of 4,000 to 9,000 words in length on any aspect of William Hazlitt’s work and life; articles relating Hazlitt to wider Romantic circles and discourses are also expressly welcome, as are reviews of books pertaining to such matters. Contributions should follow the MHRA style, and ought to be submitted by 1 March 2012 to James Whitehead (james.whitehead@kcl.ac.uk) or Philipp Hunnekuhl (p.g.hunnekuhl@qmul.ac.uk). We regret that we cannot publish material already published or submitted elsewhere.
