CFP (journal): Verdi Forum

[AMS]

Verdi Forum invites the submission of articles on all aspects of music and culture related to the life and works of Giuseppe Verdi. The editor welcomes not only traditional source, analytical, and performance practice studies but also interdisciplinary contributions.

Under the sponsorship of the American Institute for Verdi Studies, Verdi Forum has published essays, documents, and conference proceedings, which have contributed meaningfully to the scholarly literature on Verdi. The journal is a peer-reviewed publication, edited by Roberta Montemorra Marvin, with associate editors Andreas Giger and Steven Huebner, assistant editor Francesco Izzo, and reviews editor, Denise Gallo, as well as an editorial board of international scholars who, along with external readers, review articles under consideration.

Submissions to Verdi Forum may be made electronically (as an e-mail attachment in a word-processing file readable by Microsoft Word for Windows) or (if necessary) in paper copy (three copies) and should include full contact information, including an e-mail address. The editor will also be happy to receive offers to review books, editions, and recordings of exceptional historic or aesthetic interest. Questions may be directed to the editor: Roberta Marvin (roberta-marvin at uiowa.edu). The address for submissions is Roberta M. Marvin, University of Iowa, University Capitol Centre 1111-53, Iowa City, Iowa 52242. For information about subscribing, visit the AIVS website – www.nyu.edu/projects/verdi.
