The Research Journal
To further the Society's charitable objects of developing and encouraging education in Elizabethan and Jacobean literature, and in that of Christopher Marlowe in particular, the Research Journal is intended as a forum for all research on Marlowe and his contemporaries that is going on across the world, publishing articles contributed by scholars, academics and Society members.
It carries research and study articles that are within the field and the spirit set out in the Society Policy statement, but that are likely to be too long or too weighty to suit the Newsletter itself. The Journal represents the broad spectrum of opinion on Marlowe's life and work, and articles also cover related aspects of contemporary drama and literature, as well as some of the more hotly debated topics such as the suspicious circumstances surrounding Marlowe's reported death in Deptford, and the Shakespearean Authorship question. In general, we invite researchers and academic institutions to keep us informed with articles that expand or deepen our knowledge of the man, his work, and his world.
The Journal is in the same general format as the Newsletter, but contains more pages - up to 60, plus cover. This format allows about 500 words a page. In each issue our aim is to print a small number of articles of varying length, with a mix of themes. The frequency of publication will be governed by the amount of suitable material, but it is the Society's stated objective to publish a new Journal at least once a year.
How to Order
Copies of all Research Journals (where still available) can be ordered for a modest price. Note that Society members are NOT currently sent a copy of the Journal as part of their Subscription. The menu on the right can be used to peruse the contents listing for each Journal, or use the Article Index to locate articles on specific subjects.
Submissions
Articles for consideration should be sent to the Editor, if possible in rich text file format attached to an email. The final decision on what is to appear in each issue rests with the Marlowe Society Committee, who will have in mind the clarity, the focus, the authority, and the length, of contributions submitted.
