Journal of Early Modern History

Description:

---

The early modern period of world history (ca. 1300-1800) was marked by a rapidly increasing level of global interaction. Between the aftermath of Mongol conquest in the East and the onset of industrialization in the West, European expansion set the framework for new kinds of contacts and collective self-definition. The Journal of Early Modern History offers a broad audience of historians peer-reviewed explorations 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. In addition, there will be articles dealing with two or more elements of the same culture, or bringing quite different kinds of source materials to bear on the same phenomenon. Its coverage is broad, both geographically - Europe, the Americas, Asia - and in terms of subject matter. The book review section in each issue provides an up-to-date guide to the literature on early modern history in Europe, North America and throughout the rest of the world, as well as more extensive review articles.
