New Historical Perspectives
New Historical Perspectives is an open access book series for early career scholars published in association with the Royal Historical Society and the Institute of Historical Research, covering all historical periods and subjects. Extensive support throughout the publishing process is provided: authors are assigned a mentor from the series editorial board and take part in an Author Workshop to discuss and develop their near-complete book with invited specialists before submission.
