PREPARING YOUR MANUSCRIPT

In general the journal follows the recommendations of the MLA Style Manual. Further information on the key elements of MLA style can be found at the following unofficial site www.docstyles.com. For the comprehensive style details we recommend authors refer to the official MLA site at: www.mla.org. For specific instructions on style contact the Editor at the above address.

Manuscripts should be typewritten with wide margins and all material should be double-spaced including notes, references, extracts and figure legends. Do not divide words at the ends of lines. Each section of the manuscript should begin on a separate page. The manuscript should include the author's address and telephone number (as well as fax number and e-mail address if available) on a separate, unnumbered page.

Acknowledgements and details of support must be included at the end of the text before references and not in footnotes. Personal acknowledgements should precede those of institutions or agencies.

The journal encourages the submission of suitable illustrations. Prepare your figures at print publication quality resolution, using applications capable of generating high-resolution .tif files (1200 d.p.i. for line drawings and 300 d.p.i. for colour and halftone artwork). The printing process requires your figures to be in this format if your paper is accepted for publication.

PERMISSIONS

Permission to reproduce copyright material, for print and online publication without a time limit, must be cleared and if necessary paid for by the author; this includes applications and payments to DACS, ARS, and similar licensing agencies where appropriate. Evidence in writing that such permissions have been secured from the rights-holder must be made available to the editors. It is also the author's responsibility to include acknowledgements as stipulated by the particular institutions. Oxford Journals can offer information and documentation to assist authors in securing print and online permissions: please see Guidelines for Authors section. Information on permissions contacts for a number of main galleries and museums can also be provided. Should you require copies of this, please contact the editorial office of the journal in question or the Oxford Journals Rights department.
