The Journal of Commonwealth Literature (JCL) is a quarterly peer-reviewed academic journal that covers the field of literature, especially Commonwealth and postcolonial literatures, including colonial discourse and translational studies. The journal's editors-in-chief are Claire Chambers (University of York) and Rachael Gilmour (Queen Mary University of London).
It was established in 1966 by Norman Jeffares and Arthur Ravenscroft at Heinemann.[1] In 1970, JCL began being published by Oxford University Press. Hanz Zell became the publisher of JCL in 1979.[2] Zell was acquired by K. G. Saur Verlag the following year.[3] After Saur was acquired by Reed International in 1987, its British division was merged with the British holdings of sister publisher R. R. Bowker to form Bowker-Saur. Cambridge Information Group acquired Bowker-Saur in 2001.[4] JCL has been published by SAGE Publications since 2003.
