Romanticism and Victorianism
on the Net (RaVoN) is an International Refereed Electronic Journal devoted to British Nineteenth-Century Literature. The journal, which began publication as Romanticism
on the Net in February 1996, is published four times a year. It expanded its scope in August 2007 to include Victorian literature.
Starting in November of 2011 the journal will publish three double issues in a row to catch up with our backlog, starting with a double-issue guest-edited by Jon Sachs and Andrew Piper.
