The MHRA plays a major role in promoting academic endeavour in the modern humanities by facilitating the publication of original scholarly work of the highest standard.
The MHRA publishes scholarly articles in five journals (The Modern Language Review, The Yearbook of English Studies, Portuguese Studies, Austrian Studies, and The Slavonic and East European Review, this last in conjunction with the School of Slavonic and East European Studies).
The Annual Bibliography of English Language & Literature (ABELL) is an enumerative bibliography which aims to list all scholarly books and articles concerning both the English language and literature written in English. The Year's Work in Modern Language Studies (YWMLS) is a critical bibliography aiming to cover work done in the broadest range of European languages and literatures.
The Texts & Dissertations series was established to publish the most accomplished doctoral research, and the Critical Texts series publishes affordable editions of lesser-known literary texts.
MHRA Tudor & Stuart Translations aims to create a representative library of works translated into English during the early modern period. MHRA European Translations makes available translations between European languages that had a significant impact on the receiving culture at the time of their publication. MHRA New Translations publishes new translations into English of important works that have been hitherto imperfectly translated or that are entirely untranslated. The MHRA Library of Medieval Welsh Literature provides texts of medieval Welsh poetry and prose for the teaching of Middle Welsh through the medium of English
The Legenda book series (jointly published with Maney) now features more than 250 titles by scholars from across the world.
The prestigious PMHRA, MHRA Bibliographies series and the Style Guide complete the Association's book catalogue.
