This is a select list of scholarly (peer-reviewed) journals and of other (quasi-scholarly and commercial) journals of interest to literary studies students. Only journals that provide free access to all or part of their content are listed. I have excluded journals that are readily available to academic users through proprietary databases such as JSTOR and Project MUSE. My aim is to suggest what more is available on the internet, beyond what most academic users can find already to hand in these databases.

Table of Contents

I’ve categorized more specialized journals according to the scheme that I use in other parts of this web guide, starting with English-language dominated literatures and cultures:

Australian & New Zealand Literature and Culture (Go)

British & Irish Literature and Culture (Go) 

Canadian Literature and Culture (Go)

Caribbean Literature and Culture (Go)

U.S. Literature and Culture (Go)

Other English-Language Literatures & General Anglophone Literary Culture (Go)

European Literature and Culture (Go)

East Asian & Southeast Asian Literature and Culture (Go)

South Asian Literature and Culture (Go)

North African & Middle Eastern Literature and Culture (Go)
