Papers frequently address the social, political, and cultural contexts of literary production, examining how these factors influence narrative forms and themes. - Ecocriticism and Environmental Literature:
The journal is increasingly focusing on ecocritical perspectives, investigating the relationship between literature and the environment, and how literary texts reflect ecological concerns.
Trending and Emerging
- Postcolonial and Decolonial Studies:
There is a growing emphasis on postcolonial and decolonial perspectives, examining how literature engages with themes of power, identity, and cultural representation in a global context. - Ecocriticism and Environmental Narratives:
A significant increase in ecocritical studies indicates a heightened awareness of environmental issues in literature, exploring how texts reflect and respond to ecological crises. - Digital Humanities and Technology in Literature:
The journal is seeing more contributions that investigate the intersection of literature and digital technology, including digital textual analysis and the impact of digital media on literary forms. - Intermediality and Genre Fluidity:

There is an emerging interest in narrative theory, particularly cognitive approaches that explore how narratives shape our understanding of identity and reality, indicating a shift towards psychological dimensions of literature.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Historical Studies:
There has been a noticeable decrease in papers focused solely on traditional historical studies of English literature, as the field shifts towards more contemporary and interdisciplinary approaches. - Narrowly Defined Gender Studies:
Research that strictly confines itself to gender studies without incorporating broader sociocultural or intersectional frameworks has become less frequent, indicating a move towards more inclusive analyses. - Static Textual Analysis:
Papers that focus on static textual analysis without engaging with contemporary theoretical frameworks, such as digital humanities or ecocriticism, appear to be declining in favor of more dynamic methodologies. - Conventional Literary Histories:
There is a waning interest in conventional literary histories that do not address the complexities of cultural identity, globalization, or postcolonial contexts, reflecting a broader trend towards more nuanced narratives. - Monolingual Studies of English:
Monolingual studies that do not consider the implications of multilingualism or language contact in the context of English literature are becoming less prevalent, as scholars increasingly recognize the importance of global perspectives.
