The Royal Historical Society’s series Studies in History, founded by Sir Geoffrey Elton in 1975 and relaunched in 1995, has established itself as one of the leading outlets for specialist historical monographs. It provides an opportunity for the publication of first books by younger historians, frequently revised versions of the best doctoral dissertations. It takes a deliberately inclusive approach, with a very wide chronological and geographical coverage, and seeks to embrace all approaches to historical research, demanding only that work should be of the highest quality. The breadth of the series is amply demonstrated by the range and quality of the volumes published so far, which are listed below. In conjunction with the publishers, Boydell & Brewer, the series maintains the very highest standards in publication. Of particular importance is the close guidance and specialist advice given to authors by the relevant member of the editorial board and by the series’ Executive Editor, which, together with the work of the publishers, ensures the highest quality of both scholarship and presentation. Editorial Board
Professor John Morrill (Convenor) Submission The Editorial Board is always willing to advise potential series authors on the submission of proposals. Normally material to be submitted for a proposal would comprise a copy of the author’s doctoral dissertation, a full outline of proposed revisions (if the dissertation is not already reworked), and ideally two sample revised chapters; note that the established length for books in the series is no greater than 90,000 words, including footnotes and bibliography. Advice from at least one and usually two experts in the field will then be taken in the usual way. All proposals are submitted to a formal meeting of the Editorial Board, which takes place four times a year. Books are normally published within a year of final approval by the Executive Editor. Currently six volumes per year are published. In the
first instance typescripts should be sent to the Executive Secretary at
the Royal Historical Society. The Society will not consider any work
which is simultaneously being considered by another publisher, in the UK
or elsewhere; nor does it undertake co-publishing.
