The activities of European literary magazines since the 1960s constitute an under-documented and under-analyzed field. And yet most European countries have a lively literary magazine scene. Such a lacuna needs to be addressed and rectified. Certain categories of literature \u2013 poetry and short fiction, for example – depend heavily on journals for initial readership and in order to achieve subsequent book publication. This special issue of the\u00a0Journal of European Periodical Studies<\/a><\/i>\u00a0aims to draw attention to this vital aspect of the periodical scene and literary periodicals\u2019 importance in relevant national and trans-national literatures. The changing configurations and roles of literary journals in the past decades may also tell us something of the effects of new media on this venerable type of periodical.
