During these formative years, the review became the North American venue for the dissemination of a scholarly discipline still viewed in 1910 as something of an upstart, only to emerge ten years later as a firmly entrenched, academic program. Romanic Review’s role in moving Romance philology from margin to center hasn’t been told. But it makes fascinating reading.

Multiple Arcadias and the Literary Quarrel between Fulke Greville and the Countess of Pembroke

by Joel Davis

Studies in Philology 101 (2004): 401-430.  Reprinted in Mary Sidney, Countess of Pembroke, ed. Margaret P. Hannay (Surrey: Ashgate, 2009), 285-314.
