Some suggested topics are Robert Graves and ... early twentieth century British poetry, World War I and its ongoing influence on contemporary history and culture, early modernist poetry, myth and literature, historical fiction, twentieth century feminisms, European media, literature and the writing arts, film, music, art and design, drama and dance or fine art, the politics or aesthetics of illness and trauma, Classical literature, translation, psychic transformations, eco-criticism, the counterculture of the 1960s, the Anglosphere literary canon in the mid-twentieth century or in the contemporary world.
Article lengths should be appropriate to the topic, generally between 2,000 and 10,000 words. Submissions of critical and bibliographical articles will be accepted up to April 30, 2026. Reviews and obituaries may be submitted later owing to the timeliness of the material. Notes may be submitted after the summer conference. If you are contemplating publishing for the first time in our journal, we strongly encourage you to peruse our current issue as well as past issues available for free on our website in our Archive, particularly if you are writing about topics that have been mainstays in the discourse, or its core texts, for example, The White Goddess, I, Claudius, and Good-Bye to All That. If you are a student with a genuine interest in engaging with the work of Robert Graves, and in eventually publishing in our journal, please reach out. We will be happy to comment on your work-in-progress and suggest generative critical and theoretical approaches. Please also note that we edit the journal strictly according to the rules and principles expressed in the MHRA style sheet and see our Author's Guidelines for additional information. The editors would be happy to send a local style-sheet with guidelines specific to the journal. No submissions will be considered after 15 August. Late submissions will be considered toward the 2027 issue.
