The Wordsworth Circle is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal covering studies of literature, culture, and society in Great Britain, Europe, and North America during the Romantic period from about 1760–1850. It covers work on the lives, works, and times of writers from that period, including publications and publishers. The journal includes work on non-literary figures (historians, scientists, artists, architects, philosophers, theologians, and social commentators) and topics (science, politics, religion, aesthetics, education, legal reform, and music)—anything that appeared during, impinges upon, or is of interest to Romanticists. Essay-reviews of major books appear in the fourth issue of every volume. Subscriptions include membership in the Wordsworth-Coleridge Association. The journal is published by the University of Chicago Press on behalf of the Boston University Arts & Sciences Editorial Institute.
