Dear Colleagues,

I am forwarding, for your reference, the announcement of a new scholarly publication series focusing epic and romance literature from antiquity to modernity and from all languages and cultures. I will be serving as a member of the editorial board of the series.. 
Do pass this along to your colleagues and advanced students and keep the series in mind for possible publications of your own.

Warmest good wishes to you all.

Dear Colleagues,
  I’m delighted to announce that the Anthem World Epic and Romance series has officially launched with 16 editorial board members affiliated with institutions in the USA, UK, Canada, Germany, and Italy, with expertise ranging across several epic and romance traditions from antiquity to the present. The flyer is attached below. Can you please share this news with both established and emerging scholars in your field and invite them to submit proposals? I hope you will also consider publishing your own work within the series. 

A website for the series has been created and will be updated by next week to reflect the full list of names: http://www.anthempress.com/anthem-world-epic-and-romance

Also, since additional members have joined the editorial board since I last wrote, I’m attaching a revised list with everyone’s primary affiliation and epic/romance field for our internal use.

Thank you again for your availability. I’m very much looking forward to working with each of you.
Best wishes, 
Jo Ann
