The European Journal of English Studies (EJES), is published by ESSE in cooperation with Routledge.

EJES presents work of the highest quality in English literature, linguistics and cultural studies from the multidisciplinary and multicultural perspective that characterises the study of English in Europe. The aim of the journal is to publish substantial scholarly and critical interventions in a fast-developing field and thereby itself to influence the agenda in its disciplines.

    News from ESSE...

    - 23 August 2009: The ESSE Database of English Studies Journals (European Publishers) compiled by Dr Fritz-Wilhelm Neumann at Erfurt University, Germany, is now in the process of being transferred to the ESSE website, and this is unfortunately taking longer than anticipated.

    News from national associations...

    European Journal of English Studies - Call for Papers Amend
    We hope you have had chance to peruse the EJES Call for Papers leaflet which was sent to all ESSE members in March earlier this year. We would however like to draw your attention to a small typo in the call for papers for the special issue 'Dislocations and Ecologies', where guest editor Alexa Weik's email address was incorrectly listed. Please note that her correct address for all inquiries and proposals is <alexa.weik@unifr.ch>.
    If you did not receive the leaflet and would like to find out more, please visit http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/cfp/nejecfp.pdf
