JOURNAL OF EARLY MODERN HISTORY: CONTACTS, COMPARISONS, CONTRASTS

The JOURNAL OF EARLY MODERN HISTORY, now in its second year of publication, is currently accepting submissions of articles of a comparative nature form any field of history between roughly 1300 and 1800.

Prospectus:

JEMH is particularly interested in the comparison of different cultures on a given theme, whether in explicitly comparative studies, or by the grouping of studies (or books reviewed). One of the elements juxtaposed in this way will often be European, but not always. Moreover, the validity of such broad-guaged comparison is dependent on, or measured by, the success of comparative work of a more traditional sort, involving two or more elements of the same culture, or bringing quite different source materials to bear on the same phenomenon. Hence we welcome also studies dealing, for example, with two cities in northern China, or in northern Italy, or with a religious reform movement that has left its trace both in homilectic materials and in fiscal records. What ties these disparate approaches together, what gives the comparative method its strength, is that setting individual phenomena side by side is the historian's way of moving from the particular towards the general. We aim not so much for programmatic statements that claim to set research agenda, but for specialized research that bears explicitly on larger issues.

Volume II (1998) will include amongst others the following articles:
