The Walt Whitman Quarterly Review was founded in 1983 as a successor to the Walt Whitman Review, which was itself the successor to the Walt Whitman Newsletter, founded in 1955 by Gay Wilson Allen. WWQR was co-edited by William White, former editor of the Walt Whitman Review, and Ed Folsom until 1990, when Folsom became the sole editor.WWQR publishes essays about Whitman, his influence, his cultural contexts, his life, and his work. WWQR also publishes newly discovered Whitman manuscripts, and we publish shorter notes dealing with significant discoveries related to Whitman. Major critical works about Whitman are reviewed in virtually every issue, and Ed Folsom maintains an up-to-date and annotated "Current Bibliography" of work about Whitman, published in each issue.Submissions are welcome and should be sent to:Editor, WWQR, 308 EPB, The University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242-1492. Include two paper copies and a disk with an electronic copy in Word format. All submitted essays are read and evaluated by expert readers, and a decision about publication is generally made within two months of submission. Please check a recent issue of WWQR to answer questions about article format; note that WWQR uses endnote-format (and not lists of "Works Consulted").
