Comparative Literature Studies

Access current issues through Scholarly Publishing Collective, Project MUSE, or back content on JSTOR.

Founded in 1963, Comparative Literature Studies publishes critical comparative essays on literature, cultural production, the relationship between aesthetics and political thought, and histories and philosophies of form across the world. Articles may also address the transregional and transhistorical circulation of genres and movements across different languages, time periods, and media. CLS welcomes a wide range of approaches to comparative literature, including those that draw on philosophy, history, area studies, Indigenous, race, and ethnic studies, gender and sexuality studies, media studies, and emerging critical projects and methods in the humanities. Each issue of CLS also includes book reviews of significant monographs and collections of scholarship in comparative literature.

CLS publishes original scholarly articles on a wide range of critical comparative topics. Authors should keep in mind the diverse readership of CLS when they prepare their submissions and draw out clearly the implications of their findings both for specialists in their respective field(s) and the broader audience of comparatists. Manuscripts should be between 7,000 to 12,000 words including endnotes and quotations, and must include an additional 200-word abstract. CLS does not accept manuscripts simultaneously submitted elsewhere or articles previously published, in any language. Manuscripts should adhere to the guidelines of the most recent Chicago Manual of Style (CMS). In preparing notes, authors should use “endnote style”—CLS does NOT use the “Works Cited” style. All quotes should be in both the original language and in English translation, and for the sake of readability we request that you use a 12-point font, double-spaced.

To submit a manuscript to the editorial office, please visit http://www.editorialmanager.com/cls/ and create an author profile. The online system will guide you through the steps to upload your manuscript.
