Editor’s Introduction |
|
|
|
I’d like to welcome you
to the first autonomous edition of Melmoth,
a Journal of Victorian Gothic, Decadent and Sensation Fiction, a
publication that previously went out as a supplement in The Oscholars. Colleagues are invited to submit original articles
(which will undergo peer review), any CFPs and
notice of forthcoming events, publications, or news on any of the
aforementioned topics that they would like to promote. Please send all
relevant material to the following email address: |
|
Over the coming months, I will be inviting scholars in the
field to discuss in dialogue form what they consider to be the most pertinent
and pressing issues to be affecting their particular research field. For this
inaugural edition, I am very pleased to publish a dialogue between Anna
Kventsel and Andrew Eastham on the topic of decadence in late writings of
Henry James. The editor invites colleagues to respond to this and forthcoming
dialogues and hopes that Melmoth will
be used as a global online forum in which we can reflect on continued
developments in the field. |
|
I’d like to thank the contributors to this edition
particularly Andrew Eastham for suggesting the dialogue format. Special
thanks must go as ever to David Rose, the General Editor of The Oscholars and to Steven Halliwell
of The Rivendale Press for all of their technical work on the journal.
Without their input, Melmoth would
not have been possible. |

With best wishes, |
