Aim & Scope
Eighteenth-Century Fiction (ECF) is an international, peer-reviewed quarterly devoted to the critical and historical investigation of literature and culture of the period 1660-1832. Since its foundation in 1988, ECF has expanded its scope to reflect changes in the discipline, and we now solicit and publish a variety of approaches on a wide range of relevant cultural materials. Recognizing the fluid notions of fiction within the period, as well as the growing body of interdisciplinary work by scholars in the field, the ECF editors seek submissions that conceive of “fiction” in its broader sense and expand the frameworks of critical, historical, and theoretical discussion.
