Call for book proposals - Academic Studies Press

[Joe Peschio]

Dear colleagues, 


Academic Studies Press recently launched a new peer-reviewed book series on 19th-century Russian literary history called "The Unknown Nineteenth Century" and now invites proposals for book projects. 


Please note that ASP currently publishes only books written in English. Please also note that I welcome proposals for book projects at any stage of completion. 


To submit a proposal, please email me (peschio<at>uwm.edu) a 300-500-word description of your project which specifies how the book would fit in with the aims of the series as described below. If it looks like a good fit, we would then move on to putting together a full proposal package. 


Best wishes to all! 


Joe Peschio 
Series Editor, "The Unknown Nineteenth Century"

The Unknown Nineteenth Century , a new book series from Academic Studies Press 



The Unknown Nineteenth Century is a book series focused on the discovery of new literary facts in the history of nineteenth-century Russian literature. Each book in the series brings to light unknown texts and authors, unknown historical materials, unknown literary-historical trends, unknown formal features, etc. Each is based in fundamental research, be it archival, computational, historical, linguistic, or otherwise. The scope of the series is broad chronologically: this nineteenth century stretches from Karamzin to Bunin and beyond. It is no less broad methodologically, and embraces a range of approaches, from the philological to the sociological. Yet, the same can be said of every book in this series . Namely, that it came as a surprise to scholars and students in the field, for what it describes was unknown to any of us before the publication of this book; rather than reinterpret the well-known, it provides new material for new interpretations and narratives, and forces us to reexamine old ones.
