Submissions
The editorial team is accepting submissions for the 2025 edition. They are keen to accept new work from both university-based and independent scholars. We would like to encourage: a wide range of methodological approaches and ideological perspectives; biographical and bibliographical as well as critical analysis; work on Collins’s lesser-known fiction as well as the major sensation novels of the 1860s; investigations of Collins not only as novelist but also as dramatist, journalist and short-story writer; comparative, international or historical studies situating Collins’s writings in a broader context.
