Abstract

This issue marks twenty years of Image & Text. It is therefore appropriate that it opens with a Foreword by Jacques Lange, one of the founding members of the journal. In ‘Foreword. Evaluation, reflection, comment and analysis: Twenty years of Image & Text’, Lange gives his personal views on the origins and development of the journal and highlights its contributions. What Lange shows in admirable detail is that although Image & Text has been influenced by disciplinary and stylistic fads, it has also kept pace with the demands of international scholarship and has established itself as a reputable journal.
