RACK AND THE PRESS
« Are there not books that can make us live more in
one single hour than life can make us live in a score of shameful years? »
This is a survey – necessarily incomplete, but growing, of the journals of our
period, with special attention drawn to articles that fall within our general
themes. Until this issue, the survey was
published in our section ‘Publications’.
Our continued reconstruction of our website has suggested this new
free-standing page.
French journals are covered more fully in our sister publication rue des beaux
arts, the bimestrial bulletin of the French branch of The Oscar
Wilde Society, which can be reached via our hub page. This does not preclude notice
here.

The British Art Journal (‘The research journal of British Arts Studies’, founded in 1999), maintains a website at www.britishartjournal.co.uk, but no Table of Contents is as yet published and the website seems unchanged since 2003. One cannot tell from the website what was its most recent issue, and the Archive page has been suspended ‘for lack of funds’. Submissions are still being invited and we will continue to monitor the site in case articles on fin-de-siècle artists should appear.
No 14, 332 pages, was published in March and we gave the Table of Contents in our last issue.

English Literature in

principally a pedagogic journal devoted to the teaching of English as a foreign
language. The latest issues are Vol 50

In-between is an open Journal, edited by Gulshan
Taneja, which carries essays and book reviews on a wide variety of areas of
academic interest. Essays–peer-reviewed–can focus on subjects
ranging from Beowulf to Beckett and beyond, though the largest number of
articles on a single author so far has been on Wilde in six different
issues. A bibliography of these is published in the BIBLIOGRAPHIES appendix of THE OSCHOLARS. Books being reviewed
should not have been published before the previous calendar year. Review copies
are generally made available, if required and requested well in time.
In-between prefers British spelling, single
quotation marks and outside punctuation, and footnotes rather than endnotes.
Please submit both an electronic copy and a hard copy by airmail; also, a hard
copy c.v., and a hundred word note for the
contributors’ column.

Intellectual News /
Intellectual History Review
Intellectual News is the journal of the International Society for Intellectual History, created in 1994 to foster communication and interaction among the international community of intellectual historians and scholars working in related fields. As agreed upon at its founding, the Society will make no attempt to define intellectual history as having only one approach. The Society therefore invites membership from scholars working in such diverse fields as art and music, religion and literature, philosophy, politics, and the sciences. The goal of the Society is two-fold: to bring together scholars working in the field of intellectual history and in related fields; and to provide this international community of scholars with a forum for debating and discussing various approaches to the study of intellectual history. A Conference was held at Birkbeck College, University of London, 17th-20th April 2007.
The journal is now published for the Society by Routledge, three times a year
from 2007, under the title Intellectual
History Review and edited by Professor Stephen Clucas of
Tables of Contents of past issues can be found on the Society’s website, but be warned: the last noted is No. 15 Spring 2005 (forthcoming). The current issue (Volume 17, issue 2, 2007) is has the theme ‘An Empire of Vision: German Art and Visual Culture, 1848-1919’. Click the banner.
