http://appositions.blogspot.com/
ISSN: 1946-1992

In Volume Two of APPOSITIONS: Studies in Renaissance / Early Modern Literature & Culture, you will find:

* 5 Articles
* 1 Interview
* 6 Book Reviews

Two of those articles first appeared as conference papers during our 2009 Appositions e-conference. For the closing remarks and special features from that event, please visit this page: http://appositions.blogspot.com/2009/02/welcome-message.html.

Presenters at our annual e-conference are invited to submit article-length versions of their papers for our standard peer-review process at the journal while we review manuscripts during our submission period, October through April.

Conference presentation does not guarantee journal publication, but we do hope that our electronic forum may generate useful commentary on works-in-progress.

The rest of the documents gathered and published here were submitted independently of the 2009 e-conference.
