About EMF: Studies in Early
Moden France
A themed, refereed annual, EMF: Studies
in Early Modern France first appeared in 1994 as a sequel
to Continuum: Problems in French Literature from the Late
Renaissance to the Early Enlightenment (New York: AMS Press,
1989-93). The aim of the publications' founding editor, D. L.
Rubin, was to identify broad critical issues and provide a venue
for fully developed essays written from a variety of viewpoints
and using a broad spectrum of methods. This policy is being creatively
extended by the second generation of editors, Anne L. Birberick
and Russell J. Ganim.
EMF 1-3 were short-listed for the Best New Journal Award
of the Council of Editors of Learned Journals.
For a complete list of EMF themes, contributors, and
essays, see Tables of Contents.
Submission guidelines and an announcement of future themes may
be found on the guidelines page.
