Intertexts, a journal of comparative and theoretical reflection,
publishes articles that employ innovative approaches to explore relations
between literary and other texts, be they literary, historical, theoretical,
philosophical, or social. In particular, the editors are looking for work which
engages issues on a sufficiently theoretical or comparative level to interest
people in a variety of disciplines. Hybrid methodologies that combine elements
from a range of disciplines are encouraged. Methodological reflections and
argumentation are valued, especially when combined with detailed textual
analysis. Intertexts is particularly interested in the use of theoretical
perspectives to analyze texts other than those to which they are generally
applied. In this way, we hope to provide not only new understandings of familiar
texts but also to use those texts to examine the virtues and limitations of
contemporary literary theory. In this spirit, the editors encourage comparative
works from all historical periods. One theme issue and one open issue are
published annually.
Articles should be at least 25 manuscript pages long, double-spaced throughout,
including endnotes, and should follow MLA style (the most recent edition). The
author's name should not appear on the manuscript, only on the cover letter.
Articles should be written in English and foreign language quotations
should be translated.
Manuscripts may be submitted via e-mail to Intertexts@mcneese.edu or via regular mail to the address below. Articles accepted for publication will require both the submission of three hard copies and a copy on computer disk in Microsoft Word 5.0 or higher. A current subscription to Intertexts is required for publication in the journal.
