SYMPOSIUM welcomes contributions pertinent to modern literatures originating in languages other than English. Research on authors, themes, periods, genres, works, and theory, often through comparative studies, is regularly featured.

Recent issues include peer-reviewed essays on works by Jorge Luis Borges, Bertolt Brecht, Mikhail Bulgakov, Miguel de Cervantes, Denis Diderot, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Paloma Diaz-Mas, Assia Djebar, Umberto Eco, Franz Kafka, Francis Ponge, and Leonardo Sciascia. Although articles are primarily in English, some issues include discussions of works in the original language.

Amy S. Wyngaard, Editor
