The good news: Prof. George W. Tuma, co-editor of Medieval Forum, is retiring from San Francisco State University this fall. The sad news: Medieval Forum is retiring with him, so Volume 6 will be the final issue.



We are therefore extending the submission deadline to November 30, so that anyone who has been thinking of submitting an article to Medieval Forum will have one last chance. Volume 6 will appear in late January.



The journal will continue to be accessible through San Francisco State and LOCKSS, the electronic archival system sponsored by Stanford, and articles are indexed in MLA, so contributions will live on.



MF is dedicated to providing a venue for the free exchange of ideas in a collegial, public forum environment. Critical essays on works from any genre or period of the medieval corpus are invited, and a humanistic orientation is encouraged. Although the focus of MF is on literature, articles from other disciplines, particularly cultural and historical, that will contribute to the study of literature are welcome. Book reviews are also invited.



We look forward to receiving submissions that will make Volume 6 a memorable finale. Visit our website for submission guidelines: http://www.sfsu.edu/~medieval/.



Please share this announcement with your colleagues.
