The Journal of Beckett Studies has been the journal of record for the established and expanding field of Beckett studies for over forty years. It has always been anonymously peer-reviewed and is recognised internationally as a scholarly journal of high standard. The Journal of Beckett Studies was founded by Beckett’s biographer James Knowlson and well-known Beckett critic John Pilling in 1976. Two issues per year were published until the journal went into abeyance in 1984. Stanley Gontarski, a prominent critic who also knew and worked with Beckett, founded the second series in 1992 and remained sole editor from then until 2008. Late in 2007 a new editorial, under the guidance of Anthony Uhlmann, came together with a view to renewing the journal, consolidating and further building its profile, and moving it into the age of print/electronic publishing. Now, since 2013, Mark Nixon (University of Reading) and Dirk Van Hulle (University of Oxford) have been acting as chief editors, working with an editorial team of Daniela Caselli (University of Manchester), Stan Gontarski (Florida State University), Laura Salisbury (University of Exeter), Anthony Uhlmann (University of Western Sydney), Pim Verhulst (University of Antwerp) and Shane Weller (University of Kent), together with the review editors Trish McTighe (Queen’s University Belfast) and Ulrika Maude (University of Bristol).
