We would especially welcome papers presented at the 2007 Confessions Symposium.

We invite submissions in the form of long articles (approximately 5,000 words) and shorter Notes and Queries style articles (approximately 1,000 words), which must conform to the MHRA style guide (available online at www.mhra.org.uk). Please see our Notes for Contributors for further details regarding style requirements and guidance about the form long and short articles should take.
