Following each ELM conference we invite the speakers to submit their articles for publication in a peer-reviewed monograph.



The papers delivered at the first ELM conference (Recycling History in Post-war Literature in English) resulted in a monograph titled Into the Past. Studies in Literature and Culture, edited by Paweł Schreiber and published in 2011 by Kazimierz Wielki University Press.
