Czytanie Literatury. Łódzkie Studia Literaturoznawcze to rocznik Instytutu Filologii Polskiej i Logopedii Uniwersytetu Łódzkiego publikujący wyłącznie prace oryginalne: artykuły teoretyczne, badawcze, przeglądowe, a także wywiady, recenzje, polemiki, sprawozdania i inne formy wypowiedzi o charakterze naukowym dotyczące literatury polskiej i powszechnej oraz szeroko pojętego zagadnienia czytelnictwa. W odniesieniu do nazwy periodyku zamysłem redaktorów jest ukazanie różnych tradycji literackich, zarówno rodzimych, jak i międzynarodowych, nierzadko w zaskakujących aspektach i nieoczywistych konwencjach, a tym samym unaocznienie możliwości innego interpretowania literatury, przyjęcia odmiennej perspektywy badawczej – nawet w przypadku najbardziej klasycznych dzieł. Czasopismo stanowi niejako forum wymiany poglądów badaczy, a ponadto pozwala autorom, recenzentom i – co ważne – czytelnikom podjąć polemikę na temat literatury i jej oddziaływania na pozostałe obszary humanistyki. Celem czasopisma jest prezentowanie oraz upowszechnianie dorobku literackiego zarówno polskich, jak i zagranicznych twórców oraz badaczy, a także unaocznianie intertekstualnych powiązań między różnymi dziedzinami humanistycznymi składających się na ciągłość tradycji i umacnianie świadomości kulturowej. Ponadto periodyk służy również promowaniu wartości lokalnych, poprzez sekcję poświęconą wojennej i powojennej historii Łodzi, oraz dorobku badaczy związanych przez lata z łódzkimi ośrodkami naukowymi. Współpraca podejmowana z badaczami z Polski i zagranicy wpływa na umiędzynarodowienie czasopisma, co pozwala na zwiększenie jego rozpoznawalności oraz zasięgu, a także renomę.
