Author Guidelines

We welcome submissions on the plays and poems of Christopher Marlowe. We accept original research articles, theatre reviews and book reviews. There will be no discussion of the so-called authorship question and we will not print ad hominem attacks.

We will not publish material that has been generated by, or that we suspect has been generated by, artificial intelligence, whether fully or in part. Where authors have used LLMs to aid their research or assist in the editing of their work, we require that this be declared upon submission of the work, with an explanation of the nature and purpose of the use.

Articles should usually be around 7000 words long, but we are open to pieces of other lengths.  Articles will be subject to double-blind peer review.

Please use the Chicago footnote style and include a bibliography.
