A peer-reviewed interdisciplinary publication, Brief Chronicles is overseen by an Editorial Board comprised of academicians with terminal degrees and distinguished records of scholarship and teaching.
The journal focuses on the Oxfordian perspective, publishing research-based notes, articles and monographs, as well as essays and reviews of books, theatrical productions and movies based on the drama and literature of the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods.
More generally, the journal solicits relevant materials that shed critical light on the Shakespeare canon and its authorship, on theories and problems in the study of Early Modern authorship and literary creativity, and on related questions of early modern literary culture, aesthetics, bibliography, psychology, law, biography, and history.
Contributions utilizing an interdisciplinary methodology that draws on the conventions and data of more than one relevant humanities discipline to produce original, carefully reasoned and readable insights, are especially welcome.
