Electronic journals on English literature topics

Many scholarly journals in the field of English literature are now being published as electronic journals; the Library has converted many of its existing paper copy subscriptions to the online versions. This means that University of Adelaide staff and students can search for and read individual articles online and can access them at any time on the web.
All electronic journals are listed in the Library Catalogue. If you see the words Library Location: Use link to e-resource following the name of the journal, click on the title to bring up the full Catalogue record for the journal. There you'll find a heading Link to e-Resource: followed by a link to connect you to the electronic version of the journal.

Please note that you must be a currently enrolled student or staff member of the University of Adelaide to get remote access to the online journals to which we subscribe.

Literary Research

This is the online version of Literary Research (ISSN 1707-0228), the peer-reviewed scholarly journal of the International Comparative Literature Association. Users will find online the full-text of this bi-annually published journal for issues dating back to 1997. Articles are written in either English, French, Spanish or Italian, and the scope of the journal is vast, offering comparative analyses of international literatures, and cultural and literary theories. As well as articles, the journal features lengthy book reviews and extended debates between a collection of scholars on such themes as trans-atlantic studies, and the 'enemies' of comparative literature. The site does lack a search facility, which results in users having to browse through the substantial contents of each issue.

Renaissance Forum

It specialises in early-modern English literary and historical scholarship and in the critical methodologies of these fields. The journal is published biannually by an editorial board based in the Departments of English and History at the University of Hull.
