Victorians Institute Journal (VIJ)

Special Section: "Victorian Scotland"

Victorians Institute Journal welcomes submissions for a special section titled “Victorian Scotland” in Volume 37 (2009). We are happy to consider essays, edited texts, reviews, and other material related to the experience of Scotland during the reign of Queen Victoria. While essays relating to authors and figures long represented in the canon of English literature are welcome, we especially look forward to receiving news of doings North of the Tweed which may be less familiar.
