Texas Studies in Literature and Language
Texas Studies in Literature and Language is one of the oldest scholarly journals in the English-speaking world. It began in 1911 as Studies in English, an annual that published monographs by University of Texas at Austin faculty. In 1924, the journal was reimagined as a yearly collection of scholarly essays, again primarily by UT faculty. In 1959, Texas Studies in Literature and Language took its current name and became a quarterly publication with a broader scholarly purview not limited to a specific time period or genre. From 1959 until 1976, publication was supported by funds from the offices of the Dean of Graduate Study and Dean of Arts and Sciences, as well as the University of Texas Press. In 1976, UT Press took publishing control of the journal, which it retains.
