The Burney Journal is dedicated to the study of the works of the Burney family, especially Frances Burney d’Arblay, her life, her contemporaries, and her times. This annual, interdisciplinary publication invites submissions on all aspects of the Burneys’ lives and careers, in a variety of disciplines including literature, history, art, music, and politics. The aims of the journal center on supporting and advocating for eighteenth-century studies broadly, and particularly author studies, women’s studies, and cultural studies. The Burney Journal is indexed by EBSCO and MLA Bibliography, and is published in print and online (open-access).

The Burney Journal accepts submissions year-round, although articles to be considered for inclusion in Volume 19 should reach the editor by September 15, 2022. Manuscripts should be submitted electronically directly to the editor, Cassie Ulph, at burney.editor@gmail.com. We accept submissions that vary in length from 5,000 to 7,500 words; for shorter or longer submissions, please contact the editor.

Submissions should follow MLA guidelines and the journal style sheet:
