MLN Journal

From the archives-- pages from the first issue (1886) of MLN which invited advertisers at $10/page while the journal built a subscription list. The pages of early issues were a hodgepodge of advertisements (mostly for books and language classes), philological notes, and lists of new books.

Then it's time to submit again! The deadline for our German issue, however, just passed (Sept. 1).

1886 issue, no. 1. Available on JSTOR

The introduction to our first issue-- published in 1886

Available Open Access as part of @mlnjournal.bsky.social's latest issue. My article "Shaping the Nation through Its North-African Other: The Castilianization of Spain and the Hispano-Moroccan War"
