Journal Of English And Germanic Philology is a scholarly journal focused on medieval Nordic literature and related fields. The journal covers Middle English, Germanic, and Celtic studies and is dedicated to advancing the in-depth understanding and study of these languages and literary traditions. The journal also focuses on the continuity and transition between medieval and post-medieval literature, exploring how the literature of these periods influenced each other and evolved. This cross-period research method helps to reveal the historical development and changes of literary tradition, and provides an important historical background for understanding modern literature.

The journal's "medieval" research is broad, including not only the earliest Germanic and Celtic texts, but also the native and Latin literature of medieval England, Ireland, Germany, and Scandinavia. This broad research perspective helps reveal the diversity and complexity of medieval literature and promotes a fuller understanding of these literary traditions.
