Academic Journals
Many faculty members in the MTSU English Department conduct research and publish articles and books on a wide range of topics within our discipline -- from literature and film to rhetoric and linguistics. We also engage in editorial work for diverse academic journals, an important form of scholarly service. Below is an overview of the journals we contribute to.
Victorians Institute Journal
The Victorians Institute Journal is an award-winning, international refereed scholarly journal that publishes articles, reviews, and newly edited texts of interest to scholars in nineteenth-century cultural studies. MTSU English's Dr. Maria Bachman is co-editor of the journal along with Dr. Richard Cox at UTK. The journal is currently supported by the Department of English at Middle Tennessee State University and the Department of English and the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Tennessee. Victorians Institute Journal is available online through EBSCO International Journals Complete.
