T. S. Eliot Studies Annual
The leading venue for critical reassessment of Eliot’s life and work in light of the ongoing publication of his oeuvre, including poems, prose, letters, and plays. The Annual is published by the International T. S. Eliot Society and Clemson University Press in association with Liverpool University Press, and our articles are accessible via Liverpool, JSTOR Books, University Scholarship Online, and soon Project Muse. Members of the Society are entitled to free access to the Annual (access information here).
We welcome submissions pertaining to any aspect of Eliot’s work, life, and influence. The Annual publishes essays, research notes, book reviews, and special topic forums.
