Established in 1906, The English Association is the oldest established association in the UK for all those interested in English at all levels, from primary to higher education. Its aim is to further knowledge, understanding and enjoyment of the English language and its literatures and to foster good practice in its teaching and learning at all levels. The English Association’s prestigious and innovative book series, English Association Monographs ‒ English at the Interface, is published by Liverpool University Press.
English at the Interface invites submissions that:
- explore or represent English Studies at the interface with other languages, cultures, professions and disciplines from the medieval period to the present day.
- reflect on or contribute to interdisciplinary conversations, or which are the product of thinking across disciplines or across sectors
- explore the intersections between English Studies, Digital Humanities, and the new technologies of any period.
Proposals are invited for the series; we are happy to discuss a book at idea stage as well as at later points in its development; we welcome proposals from new and established authors; please contact Christabel Scaife or Claire Jowitt.
