Access Dante Studies

Online Access to Dante Studies

As one of its affiliated societies, Johns Hopkins University Press (JHUP) publishes our annual journal, Dante Studies.

In addition to publishing Dante Studies in print, JHUP also provides online access via its Project MUSE platform. Beginning with the 2015 issue (volume 133), all new issues are added to MUSE as they are published. All issues published prior to the last five years are accessible online via JSTOR. See below for further details on accessing Project MUSE and JSTOR as a Dante Society member.

Institutions that wish to subscribe to Dante Studies may place their order online via the JHUP journals website. Inquiries about subscriptions and orders for back issues should be addressed via email to jrnlcirc@press.jhu.edu or P.O. Box 19966, Baltimore, MD 21211-0966. Individual subscriptions are available only through membership in the Society.

Access via JSTOR (all issues prior to last 5 years)

The Dante Society has arranged with JSTOR, the online journal storage platform, to archive electronic copies of all issues of Dante Studies since the very first in 1882. In addition to preserving the content, JSTOR also makes it available for access to institutions and individuals.

Many academic and public libraries and other research institutions subscribe to JSTOR. Check to see whether yours subscribes to JSTOR package that includes Dante Studies. If it does, you can use your institutional proxy settings to access Dante Studies content just like other online journal subscriptions.
