\nThe Classical Journal (ISSN 0009-8353) is published by the Classical Association of the Middle West and South (CAMWS), the largest regional classics association in the United States and Canada, and is now over a century old. All members of CAMWS receive the journal as a benefit of membership; non-member and library subscriptions are also available. The journal appears four times a year (October-November, December-January, February-March, April-May). Each issue consists of about 100 pages.
The Classical Journal contains a mix of academic articles and notes on Graeco-Roman antiquity, generally with a literary, historical or cultural focus; paedagogical articles and notes, most having to do with the challenges of teaching Latin in modern high schools, colleges and universities; book reviews; and a list of books received. In addition, CJ generally publishes the annual CAMWS Presidential Address and the year's Ovationes. Abstracts of all academic articles and notes in volumes 101 (2005–06), 102 (2006–07), and 103.1 (2007) are posted here, along with abstracts for articles due to appear in 103.2. PDF versions of a number of recent Forum articles are also available. Back issues of Classical Journal (through 2003–04) are now available on JSTOR; CAMWS members whose academic institution does not provide them with access to JSTOR may purchase individual access to the CJ archives through the association’s business office.
In addition, the Classical Journal now maintains a list-serve, CJ-Online, which focuses on books, including Book Reviews that do not appear in the hard-copy portion of the journal. CJ-Online Book Reviews are intended to review a wider range of books, and in a more timely fashion, than is possible for the hard-copy portion of the journal. Books Received will be sent via list-serve and posted on-line monthly; to request books for review either in CJ-Online or the Classical Journal print edition, interested parties should contact the book review editor, Chris Nappa (cnappa@umn.edu) after consulting the Reviewer Qualifications and Guidelines. The CJ-Online Forum also has books on teaching and pedagogy available for review; Online Forum Reviewer Qualification and Guidelines can be found here. All reviews published in CJ-Online can be found here. Membership in CAMWS is not required to receive CJ-Online.
The hard-copy portion of Classical Journal welcomes submissions of articles and notes on all aspects of classical antiquity. Authors are not required to be members of CAMWS or to reside in CAMWS territory. For submissions guidelines (including formatting questions), please click on Submissions to the left.
