Since its launch in 1987, TP has been Britain's principal international journal of radical literary studies, continually pressing theory into new engagements. Alan Sinfield of the University of Sussex became the New Editor of the journal. Today, as customary relations among disciplines and media are questioned and transformed, TP works at the turning points of theory with politics, history and texts. It is intrigued by the processes through which hitherto marginal cultures of ethnicity and sexuality are becoming conceptually central, and by the consequences of these diverse disturbances for educational and cultural institutions.
