About the Journal
About the Journal
A popular meaning of ‘palimpsest’ denotes a very old text or document in which writing has been removed and covered or replaced by new writing. It has been recently used to suggest any literary and visual artwork that has many levels of meaning and interpretation that build on each other. Apart from its architectural, archaeological, and geomorphological applications, palimpsestuous indicia are widely referred to in psychological studies, especially in the Freudian unconscious, to mean the backstage dynamics affected by emotional repressions that dominate an individual’s responses in social and interpersonal behaviours. However, the broad connotation is germane to literary and philological researches which generate and regenerate critical insights on a particular text. Hence, Palimpsest - East Delta University Journal of English Studies is the journal published by the Department of English at East Delta University, Bangladesh, that brings out articles and book reviews on literary and linguistic studies.
Palimpsest (p-ISSN: 2307-4094, e-ISSN: 2709-2771) is a blind peer-reviewed journal published annually (primarily), starting from 2013 and, after a hiatus of 7 years, restarting from 2020. We encourage qualitative, theoretical, empirical, and exploratory research on creative and intellectual works spanning the broad fields of literature, culture, and linguistics. Subjects of examinations and arguments will encompass the socio-historical facets of current academic investigations. Since literary studies overlap with interdisciplinary studies, Palimpsest includes the scholarship of adaptation studies that deals with the theoretical edges of cinematic translation of literature. In view of this, review articles on books, novels, plays, and film adaptation will be featured in the volumes.
