Spotlight on Reviews
Spotlight on Reviews
EHR publishes up to seventy book reviews in each issue. We cover a very wide range of historical scholarship and encourage readers to browse. Here, we highlight a selection of the latest reviews, which are free-to-access for a limited period.
EHR Book Reviews
We commission reviews from scholars at all stages of their careers, and are keen to offer the opportunity to those who have not yet published in the English Historical Review. Reviewing is a stimulating part of one's academic career—it’s an opportunity to engage with the latest scholarship, and to enter publicly in a critical and constructive dialogue with it and with other researchers. The process of allocating reviewers at English Historical Review is an entirely independent one - we are not guided by authors or publishers, and we see this as essential to the integrity of the process. We do not accept unsolicited reviews. Our readers value the journal's reviews for precisely this sense of scholarly independence and constructive criticism.
Resources for authors
What is an EHR article?
The English Historical Review publishes original and high-quality historical research. There is no ‘typical’ EHR article, but we provide some guidance here on the scope and qualities that the editors look for in current article submissions and that they are keen to encourage in future ones. We are committed to publishing the best work, in whatever field of study, being produced by historians today for wide range of scholarly readers.
