The Politics of . . . (Winter 2013; Volume 4, Issue 1)

Welcome to our Winter 2013 issue (Volume 4, Issue 1) wherein we explore the concept of politics in a variety of contexts within English Studies. Starting with this issue, we move to a Winter/Summer publishing cycle (January and June), and we also inaugurate a new look: a new font and page style. We welcome your comments and feedback. Check back in a couple of weeks for the new CFP for the Summer 2013 issue.

Enjoy the issue.
