From the archives-- pages from the first issue (1886) of MLN which invited advertisers at $10/page while the journal built a subscription list. The pages of early issues were a hodgepodge of advertisements (mostly for books and language classes), philological notes, and lists of new books.

Why are academic journals shortening and shortening the length of the articles they accept for submission (max 8,000 words)? It’s getting so hard to find one that allows anything longer.

Incredibly grateful and happy to continue working at @usaloficial.bsky.social, though.

No one, like Xuan Bello, made me realize the importance of combining a deep knowledge of the Asturian language with a rigorous reading of world literatures. This bilingual edition (Spanish-Asturian) of his poetry attests to his sensitivity and his unique way of seeing the world. Rest in peace.
