The Verdi
Forum
Under the sponsorship
of the American Institute for Verdi Studies, since its inception
in 1976 the Verdi Forum (formerly the Verdi Newsletter)
has published essays, documents, and conference proceedings,
which have contributed meaningfully to the scholarly literature
on Verdi. It also provided ephemeral news of forthcoming
events and information of interest to members of the AIVS. A
list of articles published in the Verdi Newsletter is
found below.
Now the journal focuses
on permanent scholarship and is a peer-reviewed, annual publication
with new editors Roberta Montemorra Marvin and David Rosen, associate
editors Andreas Giger and Steven Huebner, and an editorial
board of international scholars who will review articles
under consideration. Guidelines for contributors are found
below.
Back issues of the Verdi
Newsletter are available for purchase. The cost of
back issues is $ 15 per volume for volumes 1 to 21, and $ 25
for volumes 22 to 26-27. The whole series can be ordered
at a flat rate of $ 175. Please be aware that issues nos.
4, 5, 12, 13 and 14 are only available as photocopies.
