Studies in German History

The German History Society is pleased to announce the establishment of its new book series, Studies in German History, in collaboration with its long-standing publishing partner Oxford University Press.

The series reflects the German History Society’s long-standing mission to promote the best scholarship in the broad field of German history, and seeks to build on the innovative directions established by the Society’s journal in recent years.

Taking an open, expansive view of what German history is and where that history has been played out, it envisions a broad chronological and geographic scope that encompasses topics from the medieval period to the present day. The series seeks to go beyond the traditional confines of German history by adopting a comparative approach and exploring themes that entwine the history of the German-speaking lands with that of other parts of the world. The editors aim to solicit titles that are intellectually ambitious, whether in their engagement with novel paradigms, or their use of concepts and methods from other disciplines. The series seeks to publish work that reaches a readership beyond immediate specialists in a particular field.

Above all, Studies in German History seeks to publish work that engages with historical questions of wider relevance across German and other histories.
