Publisher’s Description: College Literature is a scholarly, literary journal published four times a year at West Chester University of Pennsylvania. The journal invites submissions discussing innovative interpretations of classic and contemporary works of literature. Primarily directed to those who teach literature—in all genres—in college and university classrooms, the journal provides usable, readable, and timely material designed to keep readers abreast of new developments and shifts in the theory and practice of literature. The journal encourages a variety of approaches to textual analysis and criticism on English, American, European and Eastern literature, in addition to minority and Third World literatures, oral literatures, and interdisciplinary/comparative studies, such as the intersections of literature with anthropology, computers, film, etc.

College Literature also offers the general reader distinctly new understandings and thought provoking discussions of literary works: shedding new light on classic literature as well as diverse, new thinking about popular and familiar work. Contents by issue, as well as submission guidelines and print subscription information, may be found on our website, www.collegeliterature.org. Institutions may also access College Literature full text on-line through several electronic distributors.
