kehoebritishscholarorgWelcome to the official online home of Britain and the World: Historical Journal of The British Scholar Society. Britain and the World is a journal of ‘British World’ history. The editors invite research articles, review essays, and book reviews from historians of all ranks on the ways in which Britain has interacted with other societies since the seventeenth century. This focus on Britain’s global history is unique amongst all journals concerned with British history.
Each issue of Britain and the World consists of research articles, our Witness to History feature, a Round-Table book review, and numerous stand-alone book reviews. Research articles are subjected to a rigorous double-blind peer-review process. If you are interested in submitting your article for publication consideration please follow the submission instructions available at http://www.euppublishing.com/page/brw/submissions. In Witness to History we focus on the testimonies of people who were first-hand witnesses to Britain’s global interactions. Our Round-Table takes a book of importance to the field and subjects it to review by three to five experts in the field with the author having an opportunity to reply. The stand-alone book reviews are by individual experts in the field. If the author of a book disagrees with a review published in Britain and the World, they have a right of reply in our section entitled Critical Response. Review essays will also be considered for publication in the journal.
Britain and the World is published bi-annually by Edinburgh University Press (EUP) for The British Scholar Society. You will find the new EUP webpages dedicated to Britain and the World at http://www.eupjournals.com/brw.
