Journal of Literature and the History of Ideas
Partial Answers is an international, peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary journal that focuses on the study of literature and the history of ideas. It is this interdisciplinary component that is responsible for combining analysis of literary works with discussions of historical and theoretical issues. The Journal publishes articles on various national literatures including Anglophone, Hebrew, Yiddish, German, Russian, and predominately English literature.
The Journal strives to explore ways in which literary texts can be perceived both as works of art and as testing grounds for ideas; literary works participate in the history of ideas, whether understood as a continuous line of development, as a process of inheriting and correcting schemas, or as a sequence of archeological layers; literary texts negotiate ideological changes; period concepts and debates impinge on the shape of the literary texts; the evolution of ideas affects our reading of the literature of the past; individual texts reflect the changing ideas about literature itself.
Partial Answers would appeal to literature scholars, teachers, and students in addition to scholars in philosophy, cultural studies and intellectual history. For editorial inquiries, please write partans@mscc.huji.ac.il
