Fall 2022 Journals
MEAN STREETS: A Journal of American Crime and Detective Fiction Vol 3
The first scholarly journal to specialize in a significant category of American literature: mystery and detective fiction.
Pace University Press presents Mean Streets Volume 3. Mean Streets is the first scholarly journal to specialize in a significant and expanding category of American literature: mystery and detective fiction. Volume 3 focuses on the “Golden Age” of mystery and detective fiction, generally agreed upon as bounded by World War I and World War II. While the designation has been applied to both British and American fiction, it is most often attributed to British fiction alone. In this volume, contributors seek to analyze this “Golden Age” and its implications in American mystery and detective fiction.

A special edition dedicated to the Kerouac Centenary and highlighting the life and work of Jack Kerouac.

The Journal of Beat Studies is devoted entirely to the scholarly criticism of Beat Generation writing and writers. Its mandate is to provide readers with intelligent and penetrating criticism across the range of Beat writing, including fiction, poetry, drama, autobiography, life writing, travel writing, and screenplay writing. The ultimate goal of the journal is to advance the quality of Beat Studies scholarship through the application of diverse critical perspectives that address Beat production as both complex art and cultural critique.
JOURNAL OF COMICS AND CULTURE Vol 7
In this special edition, comic experts focus on the literary and cultural exchange between German and French comics and the influence they had and still have on each other today.
Pace University Press presents Journal of Comics and Culture Volume 7. The Journal of Comics and Culture studies the comic and the rapidly evolving medium of the graphic novel, as well as their connection to the wider world of popular culture. Original monographs, research, history, book reviews, and analysis reflect the innovative creative talents in the field, ground-breaking works, and how comics and graphic novels both reflect and inform American culture. In the past 40 years, comics have moved from occupying a decidedly lowbrow niche at the margins of pop culture to the center of the popular and critical imagination. Comics—a catch-all term that encompasses monthly comic books, graphic novels, and web comics—are embedded in, relate to and comment upon other forms of media like film, painting, and the novel.
JOURNAL OF THE EARLY BOOK SOCIETY Vol 25
This edition is a collection of essays that delves into the rich history of 15th-century manuscripts and their significance in shaping our understanding of the past.
The Journal of the Early Book Society’s mission is to illuminate the history of the formation of the book. This journal highlights the transition from manuscript to print, with a main focus on English and Continental works produced from 1350 to 1550. Founded in 1987, The Early Book Society has worked for thirty-five years to bring together all those interested in the study of medieval and Renaissance manuscripts, and early printed books. EBS has sponsored special sessions at the International Congress of Medieval Studies, Western Michigan University, and smaller conferences of related interest. From the self-identity and self-presentation in the “Fisher Miscellany” to the scribal transmission of northern dialect in Chaucer’s “Reeve’s Tale,” this book brings to light new findings and perspectives on these timeless works.
