The journal of Eighteenth-Century Poetry is published twice a year, in summer and winter, in association with the Centre for the Study of Text and Print Culture, Ghent University, by Academia Press. The publication aims to fill a niche among journals of eighteenth-century literature and culture and seeks to publish innovative studies of the poetry of the eighteenth century and its contexts. Each volume explores the poetry of the period in the light of the history of ideas, genre, social and cultural history, book history, the publishing trade, and print culture.
