ENGLISH STUDIES

The periodical English Studies was founded more than 75 years ago by the Dutch grammarian R.W. Zandvoort. From the very first, linguistics was only one of its areas of interest. English Studies was and is a unique publication in the field of "English" because of its range: it covers the language and literature of the English-speaking world from the Old English period to the present day. In spite of this range, the foremost position of English Studies in many of these areas is undisputed: it attracts contributions from leading experts who recognise this periodical as the most obvious vehicle for addressing both their fellow-experts and those whose professional interest in "English" is more general.
