Warring States Project
Journal
The Project's journal, Warring States Papers (WSP), seeks to present leading edge scholarship on the philological and historical study of classical China. As implied by its subtitle, Studies in Comparative Philology and History, the journal will also give space to examples of applied philology and historical interpretation in other cultural contexts, particularly early India and the classical Mediterranean.
The journal intends to complement rather than duplicate existing resources, and thus does not include book reviews, thesis abstracts, memorial minutes, or surveys of current scholarship. It encourages shorter contributions (between 2 and 8 pages), for which, at present, few publication opportunities exist.
Papers in each issue of WSP are grouped in the following categories: (1) Language, Ambience, and Methodology; (2) Texts and Text Formation; (3) Historical Studies; and (4) Historiography and Comparative History. Arrangement within categories is chronological by topic, except that articles on non-Chinese subjects are placed at the end of each category.
The Project underwent an editorial computer meltdown in early 2006, imperiling existing records and preventing further work on the Journal and all other publications. As of early 2007, computer capacity had begun to be restored, and we hope to make an announcement of the release of Volume 1 sometime in 2008. That announcement will be made on this page, and in several other places. We apologize to our potential readership for the delay.
WSP will be published in a primary paper version. After a suitable interval, the contents of each volume will also be made available in electronic form. The URL for that archive will be provided on this page when that time comes. A few advance samples of individual articles will be made available at this site; several such preprints are now available for Volume 1.
