SMART
Studies in Medieval and Renaissance Teaching is a journal with essays reflecting changes in the kinds of assistance that teachers need to enhance the understanding of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. SMART essays are both scholarly and pedagogical, informative and practical, since we believe that excellent research and inspired teaching must be twin aspects of a revived Medieval/Renaissance curriculum.

Contributors should prepare manuscripts according to the most recent edition of The Chicago Manual of Style. Discursive notes should be held to a minimum in order to have an easily readable text. The concept of intellectual rigor requires that information of the type often relegated to notes be integrated with the main discussion, and the practical needs of teachers require that information about texts and sources appropriate to students at all levels be included in the text or works cited. In balancing the need for documentation with that for practicality, we urge your cooperation and assistance.

Three double-spaced copies of all submissions and a file on disk should be sent to Robert L. Kindrick, Managing Editor, at the above address.

SMART is published two times a year at The University of Montana. The annual U.S. subscription rate is $15; all subscriptions outside the United States are $20. Orders must be paid in advance. Back issues of SMART are available for $5.00 each + $2.00 shipping/handling ($2.50 additional each for air mail postage).
