Content:
SEVEN was founded out of the need for discussion and balanced assessment of the
lives and works of Owen Barfield, G.K. Chesterton, C.S. Lewis, George MacDonald,
Dorothy L. Sayers, J.R.R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams.
This peer-reviewed journal provides both the general and specialized reader with a reliable source
of critical interpretations of these authors' works, biographical studies,
and access to unpublished writings by the authors. Accordingly, SEVEN's editorial
staff and advisors seek articles that present original scholarship with analytical
rigor and clarity of expression. SEVEN has a history of interdisciplinarity:
subject areas commonly explored are literature, philosophy, theology, and history,
but submissions investigating topics in any disciplines are welcomed.
Some of the qualities sought by the editors and advisory board when evaluating submissions include:
focused thesis; convincing support of thesis; clarity of style; creative, thorough analysis; and
interaction with and relevance to seminal research and dialogue in the pertinent fields of scholarship.
Unsolicited articles are evaluated through blind review.
