William Riley Parker became secretary of the Modern Language Association and editor of PMLA in 1947. Parker revamped the journal and set a new editorial tone, introducing the column “For Members Only” early in his tenure. The column ran for over twenty years, until the independently published MLA Newsletter became the main communication space for the MLA, in 1969. Gaurav Desai's new blog explores the column's history and includes free-access to the PMLA archive, detailed below.
