ABELL contributors sought

The Annual Bibliography of English Language and Literature is seeking to enlist a  number of overseas contributors to cover publications to which the editorial  staff in Cambridge  do not have access. This is a task that might suit a research student or a junior member of a university English department.

The contributor should have a good knowledge of English language and literature and of the language(s) of the geographical area concerned, as well as (ideally) bibliographical experience. S/he would be expected to cover the contents of specified journals and to report to us, in accordance with our conventions, such items as are of relevance to our bibliography. The items should be reported in the original language (transliterated, where appropriate, into the roman alphabet), and English translations of foreign-language items should be given.

At present we are keen to recruit further contributors for the following areas:

  • Australia
  • Eastern Europe
  • Finland
  • Germany
  • Mexico
  • Middle East
  • Norway
  • Portugal
  • Russia
  • South Africa
  • South America
  • Spain
  • Sweden

Prospective contributors should contact the Academic Editor at this address.

MHRA Working Papers in the Humanities is an electronic publication forum intended to allow researchers to present initial findings or hypotheses such as might, at a more advanced stage, become eligible for publication in established scholarly journals. As such it will be of particular interest to postgraduate researchers, though established scholars are also invited to submit papers.
