MDCCC 1800
open access | peer reviewed
Aims & Scope
The journal MDCCC 1800, founded in 2012 by Martina Frank, Elena Catra, Isabella Collavizza, Myriam Pilutti Namer and Letizia Tasso, serves as an international forum for discussion and debate on architecture and the arts in the period between the late 18th and early 20th century, which the historian Eric Hobsbawn has defined as the ‘Long 19th Century’. As a seminal period of recent history, the ‘Long 19th Century’ has seen the reinterpretation, investigation and exploration of countless architectural and artistic styles of the past, as well as the emergence of disruptive events such as the development of neoclassicism and the emergence of the 20th century avant-garde. In an interdisciplinary and cross-cultural perspective, the journal annually publishes, in the major European languages (Italian, Spanish, French, German, English, Portuguese) one issue in December, mainly focusing on original research that delves into topics concerning the intertwining between the arts in the European and global context of the ‘Long 19th Century’.

CALL FOR PAPERS – 15 | 2026
The Arts and Literature: Encounters, Interconnections, Reflections, and Correspondences
edited by Luca Quattrocchi
The international digital scholarly journal MDCCC 1800 invites submissions for a special issue dedicated to exploring the relationship between the visual arts, architecture, and literature during the ‘long nineteenth century’, from the French Revolution to the First World War. Although widely examined within the critical tradition, the subject remains remarkably fertile: nineteenth-century Europe was a laboratory of experimentation in which literary writing and aesthetic reflection became intertwined with artistic and architectural production, generating new forms of thought and expression. The dialogue between the arts and literature went beyond mere interaction: it played a role in redefining taste, renewing art historiography, and fostering the rediscovery of neglected authors and movements (such as the emblematic case of Antoine Watteau, or, in different ways, Giovanni Battista Piranesi and El Greco). The aim of this special issue is to investigate this plurality of experiences, encouraging approaches that illuminate not only canonical voices but also marginal or peripheral ones, capable of opening up unexpected perspectives. Thematic Areas We particularly welcome contributions that demonstrate how literature has not only engaged with contemporary art but has also reinterpreted the past and shaped new avenues of research and aesthetic sensibilities. Contributors are encouraged to focus on one or more of the following areas of enquiry:
Writers on Art
Analyses of essays, articles, and reviews in which writers engage with art criticism. Examples range from Charles Baudelaire, who grafted aesthetic discourse onto a modern reflection on sensibility, to Théophile Gautier and Joris-Karl Huysmans, who experimented with forms of literary-critical writing; from the Goncourt brothers, with their antiquarian and collector’s interests, to the militant criticism of Émile Zola, and further to Rainer Maria Rilke, Maurice Barrès, and Miguel de Unamuno, who transformed art into a poetic, philosophical, and existential experience.
Artists as Authors of Literary Works
Literary texts (novels, short stories, poems) written by artists who did not limit themselves to theoretical treatises but sought in the written word an additional creative tool. Consider Odilon Redon and his visionary prose, Eugène Fromentin with his novels evoking Orientalist atmospheres, Dante Gabriel Rossetti and Aubrey Beardsley embodying the Symbolist and Decadent spirit, and Giulio Aristide Sartorio, painter-writer of refined complexity.
Visual Arts and Architecture in Literary Works
Studies of artistic and architectural representations in literary works, which become mirrors of aesthetic poetics and cultural sensibilities. From d’Annunzio, the “painter with words”, to Proust, who transforms memory into a museum gallery; from Henry James and Victor Hugo to Honoré de Balzac and Charles Nodier; not forgetting broader references such as Gothic imagery, the fascination with Pompeii, or the aesthetic meditations of Walter Pater and Herman Melville.
Literary Iconography
Investigations into illustrations and visual translations of literary texts, with the exclusion of the Old and New Testaments. Examples are numerous: from Gustave Doré with his Faust and the Divine Comedy, to Gaetano Previati with The Betrothed, to the Nazarenes, the Pre-Raphaelites, and Odilon Redon, including the vast Shakespearean iconography, the unsettling visions of Johann Heinrich Füssli and William Blake, and the sculptures of Auguste Rodin. Literary iconography reveals the role of the visual arts as a vehicle for the interpretation and dissemination of the great European classics.
Selection Criteria
Only contributions based on texts published in the nineteenth century or during the “long nineteenth century” are eligible (excluding diaries, correspondence, and travel notes).
Contributions on theoretical treatises written by artists and on the pictorial or graphic activities of writers are excluded, as these would merit separate treatment, as would photography.
Submission Guidelines
Authors are invited to submit an abstract (max. 3,000 characters including spaces), with a provisional title and a short biographical note, by 11 January 2026 to: mdccc1800@unive.it. Selected authors will be contacted by 31 January 2026. Final contributions are due by 31 May 2026 to allow for double-blind peer review and publication by 31 December 2026. Articles should be between 20,000 and 40,000 characters (including spaces) and will undergo double-blind peer review. A maximum of 5-8 copyright-free images may be included. Editorial guidelines are available at: https://edizionicafoscari.unive.it/it/edizioni4/pubblicare-con-noi/
Accepted Languages
Italian, English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese. For further information and enquiries: mdccc1800@unive.it

Ethical Code of MDCCC 1800
MDCCC 1800 is a peer-reviewed scientific journal whose policy is inspired by the COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) Ethical Code. See the Best Practice Guidelines for Journal Editors.
Publisher’s responsibilities
The Publisher must provide the Journal with adequate resources and the guidance of experts, in order to carry out its role in the most professional way, aiming at the highest quality standard.
The Publisher must have a written agreement that defines the relationship with the owner of the Journal and/or the Editor-in-Chief. The agreement must comply with the Code of Behavior for Publishers of Scientific Journals, as established by COPE.
The relationship among the Editor-in-Chief, the Advisory Board and the Publisher is based on the principle of publishing independence.
Editors’ responsibilities
The Editor-in-Chief and the Advisory Board of MDCCC 1800 alone are responsible for the decision to publish the articles submitted.
Submitted articles, after having been checked for plagiarism by means of the anti-plagiarism software Compilatio that is used by the University and is made available to us, will be sent to at least two reviewers. Final acceptance presumes the implementation of possible amendments, as required by the reviewers and under the supervision of the MDCCC 1800 Editor-in-Chief.
The MDCCC 1800 Editor-in-Chief and Advisory Board must evaluate each submitted paper in compliance with the Journalʼs policy, i.e. exclusively on the basis of its scientific content, without discrimination of race, sex, gender, creed, ethnic origin, citizenship, or the scientific, academic and political position of the Authors.
Allegations of misconduct
If the MDCCC 1800 Editor-in-Chief and Advisory Board notice (or receive notifications of) mistakes or inaccuracies, conflict of interest or plagiarism in a published article, they will immediately warn the Author and the Publisher and will undertake the necessary actions to resolve the issue. They will do their best to correct the published content whenever they are informed that it contains scientific errors or that the authors have committed unethical or illegal acts in connection with their published work. If necessary, they will withdraw the article or publish a recantation.
All complaints are handled in accordance with the guidelines published by the COPE.
Concerns and complaints must be addressed to the following e-mail ecf_support@unive.it. The letter should contain the following information:
- complainant’s personal information;
- title, author(s), publication date, DOI;
- complaint(s);
- declaration that the complainant has no conflict of interest, or declaration of an actual or potential conflict of interest.
Authors’ responsibilities
Stylesheet
Authors must follow the Guidelines for Authors to be downloaded from the MDCCC 1800 website.
Authors must explicitly state that their work is original in all its parts and that the submitted paper has not been previously published, nor submitted to other journals, until the entire evaluation process is completed. Since no paper gets published without significant revision, earlier dissemination in conference proceedings or working papers does not preclude consideration for publication, but Authors are expected to fully disclose publication/dissemination of the material in other closely related publications, so that the overlap can be evaluated by the MDCCC 1800 Editor-in-Chief.
Authorship
Authors are strongly encouraged to use their ORCID iD when submitting a manuscript. This will ensure the authors’ visibility and correct citation of their work.
Authorship must be correctly attributed; all those who have given a substantial contribution to the design, organisation and accomplishment of the research the article is based on, must be indicated as Co-Authors. Please ensure that: the order of the author names is correct; the names of all authors are present and correctly spelled, and that affiliations are up-to-date.
The respective roles of each co-author should be described in a footnote. The statement that all authors have approved the final version should be included in the disclosure.
Conflicts of interest and financing
Authors, under their own responsibility, must avoid any conflict of interest affecting the results obtained or the interpretations suggested. The MDCCC 1800 Editor-in-Chief will give serious and careful consideration to suggestions of cases in which, due to possible conflict of interest, an Author’s work should not be reviewed by a specific scholar. Authors should indicate any financing agency or the project the article stems from.
Quotations
Authors must see to it that all works consulted be properly quoted. If works or words of others are used, they have to be properly paraphrased or duly quoted. Quotations between “double quotes” (or «angled quotation marks» if the text is written in a language other than English) must reproduce the exact wording of the source; under their own responsibility, Authors should carefully refrain from disguising a restyling of the source’s wording, as though it was the original formulation.
Any form of excessive, inappropriate or unnecessary self-citation, as well as any other form of citation manipulation, are strongly discouraged.
Ethical Committee
Whenever required, the research protocols must be authorised in advance by the Ethical Committee of Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.
Emendations
When Authors find a mistake or an inaccuracy in their own article, they must immediately warn the MDCCC 1800 Editor-in-Chief, providing all the information needed to make the due adjustments.
Reviewers’ responsibilities
Goal
By means of the peer-review procedure, reviewers assist the MDCCC 1800 Editor-in-Chief and Advisory Board in taking decisions on the articles submitted. They are expected to offer the Authors suggestions as to possible adjustments aimed at improving their contribution submission.
Timing and conflicts of interest
If a reviewer does not feel up to the task of doing a given review, or if she/he is unable to read the work within the agreed schedule, she/he should notify the MDCCC 1800 Editor-in-Chief. Reviewers must not accept articles for which there is a conflict of interest due to previous contributions or to a competition with a disclosed author (or with an author they believe to have identified).
Confidentiality
The content of the reviewed work must be considered confidential and must not be used without explicit authorisation by the Author, who is to be contacted via the editor-in-chief. Any confidential information obtained during the peer review process should not be used for other purposes.
Collaborative attitude
Reviewers should see themselves not as adversaries but as advocates for the field. Any comment must be done in a collaborative way and from an objective point of view. Reviewers should clearly motivate their comments and keep in mind the Golden Rule of Reviewing: “Review for others as you would have others review for you”.
Plagiarism
Reviewers should report any similarity or overlapping of the work under analysis with other works known to them.
