The Gaskell Journal invites submissions from PhD and MA students for its biennial Graduate Student Essay Competition. The winning essay (6,000-7,000 words) will offer an original contribution to Gaskell studies, and will be published in The Gaskell Journal. Its author will receive £200 from the Gaskell Society, and a complimentary copy of the Journal. Essays will be judged by members of The Gaskell Journal Editorial Board, with the final decision being made from a shortlist by a leading scholar in Gaskell studies. Please send submissions to the Editor, Dr Rebecca Styler: rstyler@lincoln.ac.uk. For stylesheet and application details, see: www.gaskelljournal.co.uk
Deadline for submissions: 10th February 2016
