English Studies in Canada

Welcome to the home of ESC: English Studies in Canada on Open Journal Systems (OJS). ESC's operations and archive are housed in the Department of English and Writing Studies, Western University in London, Ontario, Canada.

ESC is available in Open Access under the restriction of a twelve-month moving wall.

On this site you'll find the table of contents for our most recently available issue, as well as back issues from Volume 29 (2003) on.

As one of Canada's longest-running and widest-ranging scholarly journals, ESC has a legacy of publishing a rich variety of complex and thoughtful scholarship in the field of English Studies, including special issues on topics of note and concern to the community. Both new and established scholars from around the globe publish with us.

Recent figures show that, on average, an ESC article is downloaded every 6.6 minutes in over 95 countries around the world.

If you're a scholar in our field, we hope you'll consider submitting an article.
