The Year\u2019s Work in English Studies<\/em><\/a> is an annual review of scholarly work on English language and literatures written in English from 601 to the present; expert critical commentary is provided for each essay and book covered. YWES<\/em> is the largest and most comprehensive work of its kind and the oldest evaluative work of literary criticism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applications are now open to contribute to two chapters, \u2018The Eighteenth Century\u2019 and \u20181780-1830: The Romantic Period\u2019. Our aim is to build a new team to cover \u2018The Novel\u2019 section for the \u20181780-1830: The Romantic Period\u2019 chapter and to find writers to support the existing teams covering all other sections across both chapters (\u2018General and Prose\u2019, \u2018Poetry\u2019, \u2018The Novel\u2019 (18thc), and \u2018Drama\u2019). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All contributors get to keep review copies of books. YWES pays contributors at the rate of \u00a38 per page of the printed volume. But this is also an opportunity to stay up-to-date with relevant publications in your field and to join a supportive community of reviewers, editors, and publishers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Get in touch with Sarah Wride, the Associate Editor for both chapters, at s.r.wride@gmail.com<\/a> if you have any questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To apply, please submit a copy of your CV and the role\/s that you are interested in to Sarah at the same email address. If you have not yet published, please include a writing sample (of no more than 5000 words) and ask someone who knows your work well to write a brief reference on your behalf outlining your suitability for the role\/s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The deadline is 1 December 2024<\/strong>; scholars at any career stage are warmly encouraged to apply. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
