CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS

LITERATURE IN THE EARLY AMERICAN REPUBLIC (LEAR), a peer-reviewed,
scholarly, print annual published by AMS Press, welcomes a wide range of
submissions on the literary culture of the United States from roughly the
adoption of the Constitution in 1789 to the death of James Fenimore Cooper
in 1851. We also seek submissions addressing (or establishing critical
editions of) unpublished archival manuscripts (e.g., letters, diaries,
poems, and other documents) of cultural or literary relevance to the
period.

Please format essays in accordance with the Chicago Manual of Style (15th
edition), "short endnotes with full bibliography" method. Articles normally
should run from 20-25 double-spaced, typewritten pages (or 8000-10,000
words). Longer submissions, such as editorial projects, will also be
considered. As submissions undergo blind review by outside readers, the
author's name should appear only in the cover letter. We prefer electronic
submissions (with files in MS Word), but contributors sending manuscripts
via regular mail should provide three double-spaced copies accompanied by a
self-addressed stamped envelope.

The deadline for consideration in our second volume is 15 August 2008.

Send electronic submissions as MS Word attachments to sivils[at]gmail.com.

Address regular mail submissions to the following address:
