A list of 3-5 journals or other resources relevant for literature and language study with a brief assessment of one:

1) The Review of English Studies

"The Review of English Studies is the leading scholarly journal in the field of English literature and the English language from the earliest period up to today. Emphasis is on historical scholarship rather than interpretive criticism, though fresh evaluation of writers and their work are also offered in the light of newly discovered or existing material" (JSTOR website).

2) Studies in English Literature

"Studies in English Literature, 1500-1900 (SEL) focuses on four fields of British Literature which rotate quarterly as follows: Winter-English Renaissance, Spring - Tudor and Stuart Drama, Summer-Restoration and Eighteenth Century, and Autumn - Nineteenth Century. SEL was founded in 1961 by Carroll Camden at Rice University and is now edited by Robert L. Patten. It includes historical and critical essays that contribute to the understanding of English Literature" (JSTOR website).

3) Texas Studies in Literature and Language

"TSLL is an established journal of literary criticism publishing substantial essays reflecting a variety of critical approaches and covering all periods of literary history" (ProjectMUSE website). This assessment is sort of broad; however, after looking further into the website, a main reason it's titled with "Texas" is because it is a part of the University of Texas Press.
