Pacific Coast Philology
Pacific Coast Philology, the journal of the Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association, publishes peer-reviewed essays of interest to scholars in the classical and modern languages, literatures, and cultures. Scholars submitting essays for consideration must be members of PAMLA at the time of publication. Essays may be submitted any time throughout the year. The expected length for all essays is between 4,500 and 8,000 words. In preparing manuscripts, all contributors should follow the MLA Style Manual. Electronic submissions of essays in MS Word format are preferred, but submissions by mail are also accepted. Submissions undergo a double-blind review. Please include your name, affiliation, and contact information only on the cover sheet; please do not include in the essay any reference identifying the author. Submit electronic essays to General Editors Lorely French (frenchl@pacificu.edu) and Pauline Beard (beardp1@pacificu.edu). Non-electronic submissions should be sent in triplicate to Lorely French and Pauline Beard, General Editors of PCP, Humanities Division, Pacific University, 2043 College Way, Forest Grove, OR 97116.
In the interest of making members' works more well known to each other and of informing a varied audience of their work, Pacific Coast Philology will open a book review section in the fall 2000 issue of the journal. Only members' works within the last three years will be accepted for review, though they may be reviewed by non-members as well as members. If you have recently published a book that you would like to have the journal review, have your publisher send a review copy (by January 15 for publication in the fall issue) to Pauline Beard and Lorely French, PCP Editors, Humanities Division, Pacific University, 2043 College Way, Forest Grove, OR 97116. Reviewers are enlisted from among scholars of note in the book's area of expertise and may or may not be PAMLA members. Make inquiries to beardp1@pacificu.edu or frenchl@pacificu.edu.
PCP will henceforth publish one annual issue, which will contain Articles and Book Reviews, as well as the Presidential Address, Forum, and Plenary Speech from the preceding year's conference. The journal will be longer; it will appear in a new 6" X 9" format and will come to members by way of Logos Press, PCP's respected printer for over a decade. Members will no longer receive a conference issue of the journal. Instead, the full conference program will appear on this PAMLA website, and the program minus abstracts will be sent out in the Newsletter. The full conference program will be available in print at the conference for no additional charge.
