Praise for Literature Compass:

Literature Compass steers faculty and students through the changing currents of American, English and postcolonial literature. Guided by a team of internationally renowned scholars, it is the ideal starting point for research, teaching, and student projects. The original articles and recommended reading lists keep you abreast of the current thinking the subject community worldwide. Peter Brown, University of Kent

Literature Compass has established an original and consistently solid and important position in assessing current literary scholarship, teaching approaches, and debates about literary materials and their meanings. It is a unique, vital, and substantial resource for long-time members of its specialist fields as well as those wishing to dip into something for the first time. Both kinds of users can quickly capture or carefully ponder an impressive, and continually expanding, range of current trends and concerns as well as recurrent major issues across a remarkably wide span of English literature. Andrew Galloway, Cornell University

The Compass Journal features essays by some of the discipline's most prominent scholars - Jerome McGann, Joseph Bristow, Lyn Pykett, Florence Boos - yet also opens space for the innovative work of emergent scholars. Because production of articles is swift, the journal's refereed publications are especially timely. And because the characteristic tone of articles is lively, engaged, and provocative, the journal can be read both for instruction and delight. Linda Hughes, Texas Christian University

Blackwell's Literature Compass provides an admirable array of articles, from useful overviews to contentious interventions, in an easy-to-access format. In my own field of the contemporary, Compass Journal has a world-wide reach, treating anglophone writing from around the globe in addition to twentieth-century British literature. Suzanne Keen, Washington and Lee University

Literature Compass publishes peer-reviewed survey articles from across the entire discipline.
