The Modern Humanities Research Association:

Publishes scholarly journals and monographs

The MHRA plays a major role in promoting academic endeavour in the modern humanities by facilitating the publication of original scholarly work of the highest standard.

The Legenda book series (jointly published with Maney) now includes more than 150 titles by scholars from across the world. The Texts & Dissertations series was established to publish the most accomplished doctoral research, and the Critical Texts series publishes affordable editions of lesser-known literary texts. Tudor & Stuart Translations aims to create a representative library of works translated into English during the early modern period. The prestigious PMHRA, MHRA Bibliographies series and the Style Guide complete the Association's book catalogue.

The MHRA publishes scholarly articles in six journals (The Modern Language Review, The Yearbook of English Studies, Portuguese Studies, Austrian Studies, Oxford German Studies, and The Slavonic and East European Review, this last in conjunction with the School of Slavonic and East European Studies).
