Book Series

The Past and Present Book Series

The Society has a long history of publishing books and collections of essays reflective of the broad themes and ethos of the journal itself. Encompassing a range of scholarly and original works primarily concerned with social, economic and cultural changes, their causes and consequences, these volumes endeavour to communicate the results of innovative historical and allied research in readable and lively form to a wide audience. The Past and Present Publications series was established in 1976 and comprises more than 70 books by both established and early career scholars. Transcending chronological and geographical boundaries, the purpose of the series is to publish high-quality, cutting-edge work that has an appeal outside the specialist area of the author.

The series was originally published with Cambridge University Press. In 2009, the monograph series was re-launched with Oxford University Press as the Past and Present Book Series. Collections of essays are now primarily published via the Supplement series.

We welcome proposals for possible publication in the series. Please contact the General Editor of the series in the first instance: Alexandra Walsham, Department of History, Trinity College, Cambridge CB2 1TQ; email amw23@cam.ac.uk
