telephone number and e-mail address should be listed on a separate cover sheet. Necessary references to the author's scholarship should be in the third person.
The maximum
length for articles
(including the endnotes and the bibliography) is 6,000
words.
Submissions to Le
Cygne should be prepared according to the
MLA Style Manual and Guide to Scholarship Publishing.
The author is responsible for the accuracy of quotations
and citations, which must be carefully verified before submission.
Criteria for acceptance include: discussion of significant ideas; relevance to contemporary critical discussions; groundbreaking research or new theoretical approaches to ongoing debates.
Two to three articles are published in each volume
(except for special issues).
Normally,
the time between submission and publication decision is 6-9 months, and
the time between
publication decision and publication is 12-18 months.
Final versions
of accepted articles must be submitted
on schedule in hard copy and diskette format.
