What it does
Modern Language Quarterly is an agent skill from brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills. Use when targeting Modern Language Quarterly (MLQ) or deciding whether a literary-history manuscript fits this venue. Encodes the journal's literary-history fit, the historically grounded argument bar, periodization and change-over-time expectations, house style and double-blind norms, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.7k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
The repository describes itself as: Journal-specific Claude Code/Codex skill packs covering mainstream journals — AER, QJE, Nature, Cell, 管理世界, 经济研究 & 200+ more — your fast track to getting published. ｜ 覆盖主流期刊的… The licence is MIT.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 932eb23. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Modern Language Quarterly loads about 1.7k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 93 tokens; SKILL.md has 740 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- description
- Use when targeting Modern Language Quarterly (MLQ) or deciding whether a literary-history manuscript fits this venue.

Modern Language Quarterly (modern-language-quarterly)
Journal positioning
Modern Language Quarterly, published by Duke University Press, is a journal of literary history — it asks how literature changes over time and how those changes are best understood. Its defining expectation is a historically grounded argument about literary change: the emergence or transformation of a genre, form, mode, period, or tradition, demonstrated through evidence and situated in the history of the discipline's debates about periodization and historical method. A purely formalist reading detached from historical change, or a theory-application piece indifferent to literary history, is a poor fit. This skill is a fit / venue-selection / re-framing aid. It does not replace the journal's current submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live MLQ author instructions.
When to trigger
- The author names MLQ for a literary-history essay and wants a fit/framing check.
- A reading must be re-framed as an argument about change over time — how a form, genre, or period came to be.
- The author is choosing between MLQ and a theory-led, new-historicist, or broad-readership venue.
- The author needs MLQ's literary-history bar and desk-reject heuristics.
Scope & topic fit
- Histories of genre, form, mode, and convention, and how they emerge, mutate, or fade.
- Periodization and the conceptual work of literary-historical categories (the medieval, the early modern, the modern, and their boundaries).
- Studies of literary change across an author's career, a movement, a national tradition, or a transnational current.
- Reception, transmission, and the long histories of texts and reading practices.
- Methodological essays on how literary history should be written, anchored in concrete cases.
- Work in any period or language tradition where the argument is genuinely about historical change.
Method & evidence bar
- The contribution is an original argument about literary change, with the historical claim — not a single reading — as the payoff.
- Command of the primary texts and their historical contexts is demonstrated and used to track change, not just describe a moment.
- The argument is situated in literary-historical scholarship and in debates about periodization and method.
- Evidence for the trajectory (texts, editions, contexts, comparisons) is marshaled systematically, not anecdotally.
- Theory and close reading serve the historical argument; neither substitutes for the demonstration of change.
- Claims about origins, shifts, or continuities are proportionate to the evidence and alert to counter-cases.
Structure & house style
- Scholarly essay developing a literary-historical argument; re-check current length expectations and essay types on the live guide.
- Citation follows the journal's current humanities style; notes carry contexts, editions, qualification, and secondary debate.
- Double-blind review: anonymize the manuscript (self-citations and acknowledgements) per current policy.
- Non-English quotations are given with translations per policy; textual and editorial references are precise.
- Any reproduced material requires permissions and meets the journal's specifications.
- Prose is argument-driven and legible across literary fields, not confined to one specialty.

Official-submission checklist
- Before giving submission-ready advice, read
../../resources/source-basis.mdand../../resources/official-source-map.md; start from the Duke University Press anchors, then cite the current MLQ page you checked. - Search the live site for "Modern Language Quarterly submission guidelines" and follow the current version.
- Re-check essay types, length expectations, and the abstract requirement.
- Confirm the citation/style format and anonymization for double-blind review.
- Re-check the translation policy for non-English quotation and any permissions.
- Re-check prior-presentation/preprint, simultaneous-submission, and AI-use disclosure policies.
- If the live official instructions conflict with this skill, the official instructions win.
Pre-submission self-check
- The argument is about literary change over time, with the historical claim as the payoff.
- Command of primary texts and contexts is used to track change, not just to read one moment.
- The essay engages literary-historical scholarship and debates about periodization and method.
- Evidence for the trajectory is systematic rather than anecdotal, and alert to counter-cases.
- Theory and close reading serve the historical demonstration rather than replacing it.
- The manuscript is anonymized, follows current style, and has translations/permissions in hand.
Common desk-reject triggers
- A formalist or close reading with no argument about historical change.
- A theory-application essay indifferent to literary history or periodization.
- A "history" asserted from one or two examples rather than a demonstrated trajectory.
- No engagement with literary-historical scholarship or the method debates the essay enters.
- Claims about origins or shifts out of proportion to the evidence, ignoring counter-cases.
- Wrong venue: a present-focused theoretical or interpretive essay better served elsewhere.
