While historical literary analysis remains relevant, the journal's recent publications show a decreased emphasis on purely historical contexts in favor of present-day implications and readings. - Static Interpretations of Literary Works:
There is a decline in static interpretations that do not engage with the dynamic cultural and political contexts of the texts, as the journal increasingly seeks to explore more fluid and contextual readings. - Focus on Individual Authors:
The journal is moving away from extensive individual author studies, shifting instead towards thematic and comparative analyses that encompass broader literary movements. - Formalism and Structuralism:
