From Sara Malton at the Dickens Society:
"Dickens Quarterly invites submissions for a special issue on Dickens and Race. Many approaches to the topic may be envisaged, including but not limited to: representations of racial difference in Dickens’s fiction and non-fiction; Dickens’s encounters with racial difference in his personal and professional life; Dickens and slavery; Dickens, race, and empire; racially inflected or suggestive language, imagery, and allusions in Dickens’s work; the reception of Dickens’s writing within diverse racial and ethnic communities and contexts; racial difference in neo-Dickensian re-writings and adaptations of Dickens’s work for stage and screen (especially when these prompt new insights into Dickens’s own authorship); race in relation to gender and other forms of difference or othering in Dickens’s work; Dickens, race, and present-day debates about canons, curricula, and the moral and political impact of literature.
"Recently updated guidelines for contributors to Dickens Quarterly may be viewed here:
I got Sara to ask Dominic Rainsford, the general editor, if there was a deadline for submissions. So far, no deadline has been given. They're just going to wait and see how many pieces come in.
