General Issue

Literature and Medicine is a journal devoted to exploring interfaces between literary and medical knowledge and understanding. Issues of illness, health, medical science, violence, and the body are examined through literary and cultural texts. Our readership includes scholars of literature, history, and critical theory, as well as health professionals.

Manuscripts of 4,000 to 7,000 words should be submitted in triplicate, with text and notes typewritten and double-spaced, and prepared according to the guidelines in The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition.

Literature and Medicine reviews only unpublished manuscripts that are not simultaneously under review for publication elsewhere. Essays should be sent to:
