DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS

To be considered for publication in the Journal of Irish Studies Vol. XXXVI,
all postal and electronic submissions must reach the Editor by the 25 April 2022.

STYLE AND FORMAT

All submissions should be single-spaced and written in 12-point Times New Roman font.
Electronic submissions should be sent as attached files saved in MS Word or Rich Text Format [rtf]
and the title of each document should follow the following format:
JIS year author surname.doc (e.g., 'JIS 2008 Tanaka.doc' for the essay, or 'JIS 2008 Biog Tanaka' for the bio).
The Editor will acknowledge receipt of all submissions by return e-mail. Contributors whose first language is not English
should have their paper checked by a literate native speaker of English before submission.
Irish-English is preferred; American spelling is permitted but it should be used consistently.

TITLE

In the title of a paper, only the first word and proper names or other titles should employ a capital letter.
This also applies to the first word after a colon - e.g., 'Yeats and Synge: myopia in the Celtic twilight',
not 'Yeats and Synge: Myopia in the Celtic Twilight'.
