Call for Manuscripts:
Changing Perspectives on Early Modern Europe
The University of Rochester Press welcomes manuscripts in its series: Changing
Perspectives on Early Modern Europe. With a number of titles already
in print, this series has become one of the leading outlets for publishing
monographs on early modern European history. Books in the series
include Megan C. Armstrong's The Politics of Piety: Franciscan Preachers
During the Wars of Religion, 1560-1600, J. B. Owens’s "By
My Absolute Royal Authority": Justice and the Castilian Commonwealth
at the Beginning of the First Global Age, and Civic Christianity
in Renaissance Italy: The Hospital of Treviso, 1400-1530,
by David M. D'Andrea; The King's Bench, by Zoe Schneider;
Expansion and Crisis in Louis XIV's France by Darryl Dee; and
Scourge of Demons: Possession, Lust, and
Witchcraft in a Seventeenth-Century Italian Convent by Jeffrey
Watt.
The editors of the series are James B. Collins, Professor of History
at Georgetown University, and Mack P. Holt, Professor of History
at George Mason University. They are assisted by a panel
of distinguished scholars from a variety of institutions.
The editorial board is seeking a mix of titles and formats,
normally monographs by a single author. Our current plan is to release 2-4 new works each year.
Changing Perspectives on Early Modern Europe brings forward the latest research
on Europe during the transformation from the medieval to the modern
world. The series seeks to publish innovative scholarship on the full
range of topical and geographic fields. Moving beyond the religious focus
of some existing series, Changing Perspectives will include monographs
on cultural, economic, intellectual, political, religious, and
social history. Chronologically, the series will focus on the period 1400-1750.
Geographically, it will include Western Continental Europe, Central
and East Central Europe, Mediterranean Europe, and northern Europe.
In an effort to avoid overlap with existing series, it will not publish works on the British Isles or on Russia.
Anyone interested in making a submission for consideration is requested to
send a project proposal or prospectus. The project proposal should include:
1) a brief but detailed synopsis of the work, outlining its intended
contribution to the existing literature; 2) an abstract of 300 words
or less, summarizing the work's content; 3) a complete Table of Contents; 4) one sample chapter.
All scholars with an interest in submitting their work for consideration should contact the Editors:
