Yale Studies in English (YSE)
Yale Studies in English publishes books on English, American, and Anglophone literature developed in and by the Yale University community. Founded in 1898 by Albert Stanburrough Cook to publish distinguished dissertations, the original series continued into the 1970’s, producing such titles as The Poetry of Meditation by Louis Martz, Shelley’s Mythmaking by Harold Bloom, The Cankered Muse by Alvin Kernan, The Hero of the Waverly Novels by Alexander Welsh, John Skelton’s Poetry by Stanley Fish, and Sir Walter Ralegh: The Renaissance Man and his Roles by Stephen Greenblatt. With the goal of encouraging the publication of first books by emerging scholars in the company of work by established colleagues, the series has been revived for the 21 st century with support by a grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation and in partnership with Yale University Press. Recent Yale Ph.D.’s who are interested in this series should contact the YSE chair, currently Linda Peterson, about procedures for submission.
