Oxford German Studies

Volume 38 (2009) 3 issues per year

Aims and Scope

Oxford German Studies is a fully refereed journal, and publishes in English and German, aiming to present contributions from all countries and to represent as wide a range of topics and approaches throughout German studies as can be achieved. The thematic coverage of the journal continues to be based on an inclusive conception of German studies, centred on the study of German literature from the Middle Ages to the present, but extending a warm welcome to interdisciplinary and comparative topics, and to contributions from neighbouring areas such as language study and linguistics, history, philosophy, sociology, music, and art history. The editors are literary scholars, but seek advice from specialists in other areas as appropriate.

OGS was founded in 1965 by Ernest Stahl, Peter Ganz, Malcolm Pasley, and Jim Reed to promote the study of German language and literature from the Middle Ages to the present day. OGS was relaunched by the MHRA and Maney Publishing in 2005 (Volume 34), and continues to be edited from Oxford. The journal was previously a yearbook and moved to two issues per year in 2005, and from 2009 will publish three issues per year. At least one issue per volume is a collection of articles on a range of diverse subjects in the familiar format, one is usually a themed issue addressing a particular subject, author, or period. From 2009 the third issue will vary between general and themed issues from year to year.
