Comments and Feedback

Contributions from members of ESSE are most welcome. Articles should deal with matters of interest to a broad range of our c. 7,200 members - or rather, deal with matters in which the author is expert in such a way that they are of interest to colleagues who work in other areas of English Studies. In its role as broker for information, contacts and resources, The Messenger also features notices of research centres and projects, annotated bibliographical checklists for various areas of interest, annotated links to Internet resources for scholarship and teaching, interviews, conference reports and book reviews.
Please send proposals (preferably by e-mail) to the editor.
