Revista Hispánica Moderna

Founded in 1934 as Boletín del Instituto de las Españas at Columbia University, Revista Hispánica Moderna has been regarded since as one of the most distinguished international venues for academic research in Spanish. RHM is a semiannual peer-reviewed journal committed to the dissemination of outstanding scholarship on Hispanic and Luso-Brazilian literary and cultural studies. It publishes essays and book reviews in Spanish, English, or Portuguese on the full spectrum of Hispanic and Luso-Brazilian cultural production in Europe, Latin America, and the United States, and in all historical periods, from the Middle Ages to the present. Revista Hispánica Moderna is indexed in ISI Web of Knowledge and in SCOPUS.

The journal continually accepts submissions, and is currently seeking special issue proposals. Please send manuscripts and proposals for consideration, in Microsoft Word, to: [email protected]
