Selected Works on Simms and His Writings
The Simms Review is devoted to Simms and has been published for 18 years.

The Winter 2003 issue of The Southern Quarterly (41.2), the Summer 2003 issue of Studies in the Novel (35.2), and the Spring 2009 issue (42.1) of Studies in the Literary Imagination all focus exclusively on Simms and his writing.
