Scope/Description:

Since it was established in the Department of English at the University of the Witwatersrand in 1958 English Studies in Africa has published a number of key interventions in literary studies. The journal has emphasized as its name attests the study of world literature in English within African contexts at the same time as it set about promoting the study of African literature worldwide. Its founding editors clearly wished to establish a conduit between AngloAmerican and Southern African literary studies and this ethos persists though in a revised form. Despite this commitment to its context however English Studies in Africa is unique in its willingness to publish articles on any literary educational or language topic that the editors adjudge will be of interest to its diverse readership. While articles regarding Englishlanguage education and the English language in its various African manifestations are welcomed contributors should be apprised of the fact that literary studies remain the core concern of the journal.
