This Rough Magic is a free, open-access journal dedicated to the art of teaching Medieval and Renaissance Literature. We are seeking academic, teachable articles.
We do not charge authors for their work, nor do we retain copyright information for the essays we publish. Authors retain the rights to their own work.
In addition, all submissions are given blind reads. All submissions must carry assurance that they have not been published elsewhere, and that they have been submitted exclusively to This Rough Magic. Edited texts should be in old-spelling with introduction, textual variants, and annotations each printed separately.
Article submissions, normally 15-35 pages, must follow The MLA Handbook (current edition).
Short essay submissions, normally 5 pages, must follow The MLA Handbook (current edition). Short essays should encourage readers to try non-traditional, over-looked, teachable texts inside their classrooms. Essays should answer the following:
- How can the author/text in question be used in a particular class?
- What audience (undergraduate/graduate) should the author/text in question be geared towards?
- What themes/ideas can one cover using the author/text in question?
Book reviews, normally 2 to 3 pages, must follow The MLA Handbook (current edition).
Those wishing to submit to This Rough Magic can begin the process by sending an electronic copy (.pdf or .doc) of their essay to the following individual:
