Leeds Studies in English and Kindred Languages was started in 1932 as an annual philological journal by Bruce Dickins, Alan S.C.Ross and R.M.Wilson, who were all teaching in the Department of English Language at the University of Leeds. There were six issues before the outbreak of war in 1939, but publication was then suspended. Numbers 7 and 8 were published as a combined volume in 1952, but it was not until 1967, under the editorship of Professor A.C. Cawley and Dr R. C. Alston, that regular annual publication was resumed, under the title Leeds Studies in English and with a numbering sequence beginning again at volume 1 (New Series). Publication since then has been continuous.

Leeds Texts and Monographs is an occasional series of monographs, editions, and collections of essays within the areas covered by Leeds Studies in English.

Leeds Texts and Monograph Facsimiles was a facsimile series concentrating on medieval drama manuscripts which was begun in 1973. It is now intended to include facsimiles of other types of manuscripts.
