New Literary History is an academic journal founded in 1969 at the University of Virginia where it is still edited. It focuses on the causes of literary change, periodization, and the evolution of style and genre. It is also an international forum in which many never before translated texts are presented in English. NLH has won six awards from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals. The editor, who has served in that capacity continuously since the journal's inception, is Dr. Ralph Cohen of the University of Virginia.
The journal is published quarterly in February, May, August, and November. Circulation is 1,300 and the average length of an issue is 220 pages.
