Critical Analyzer presents work of the highest quality in English literature, literary theory and cultural studies from the multidisciplinary and multicultural perspective that characterises the study of English in world literature. The aim of the journal is to publish substantial scholarly and critical interventions in a fast-developing field. A research journal, written by and for specialists from all parts of the disciplinary spectrum of English Studies in the entire world, Critical Analyzer is also addressed to the increasing number of academics interested in the dialogical and plurivocal development of their subject or who teach outside their own area of expertise. To this end, it also offers non-specialists examples of recent approaches and new ways of engaging the field of English studies. The journal places a high premium on readability, discussion of controversial issues and the inclusion of a wide range of perspectives. Critical Analyzer appears two times a year. Individual issues are devoted to specific themes but include a section devoted to interventions on timely 'key issues' in English Studies in the world literature. A substantial book review section keeps readers informed about new publications in the field, particularly where these challenge existing assumptions, or offer to make a difference to the practice of the discipline. 'The cause is Europe ... The cause is also English Studies in the broadest sense of that term ... Moreover, the cause is debate.'
