'Transnational Literature has been on quite a journey over the last two years, so we genuinely couldn’t be prouder to be bringing you Volume 12.

'The journal has, as regular readers will know, evolved and adapted since its inception. Transnational Literature started with the ground-breaking work of Professor Syd Harrex who brought the study of new literatures in English to Flinders University, South Australia. Dr Gillian Dooley, prolific scholar and Research Fellow in English, developed the journal over the next decade with a hard-working, volunteer Editorial Team and the support of senior scholars on an Advisory Board drawn from institutions around the world. By 2018, the journal had reached an international audience of over 2000 readers.' (Editor's Letter, introduction)
