MODERN fICTION STUDIES
 

John N. Duvall, Editor
Robert P. Marzec, 
Associate Editor

Published for the Purdue English Department by the Johns Hopkins University Press

Modern Fiction Studies began at Purdue University in 1955 as a publication of the Modern Fiction Club in the Department of English. Since then, it has evolved into a major journal in the field with a worldwide circulation. Mfs publishes essays on all aspects of modern and contemporary fiction welcoming theoretical perspectives; we are equally interested in work on canonical texts and work on emergent texts. Mfs publishes two general issues and two special issues each year. General issues include five or six essays and approximately forty reviews of recent books on modern fiction and theory. Special issues are devoted to announced topics and are edited either in-house or by selected guest editors. Mfs also publishes review-essays; reviews and review-essays are commissioned by the editors of the journal, though suggestions for reviews and reviewers are welcome. Mfs is published for the Purdue English Department by the Johns Hopkins University Press and is a member journal of the Council of Editors of Learned Journals.


Editorial Staff


Editorial Boards

Mfs carries two editorial boards, the Purdue Advisory Board and the Editorial Advisory Board; board members serve as referees for submitted essays that have passed through an initial screening. The Purdue Advisory Board is composed of faculty members in the Purdue English Department with areas of expertise and interest in the fields the journal covers. The Editorial Advisory Board is composed of distinguished scholars and critics from universities and colleges in the United States and abroad who work in the areas of modern and contemporary narrative, theory, and cultural studies.
