Past & Present Latest Issue Published
No 216, summer issue of Past & Present in 2012 has been published.
Founded in 1952, Past & Present is widely acknowledged to be the liveliest and most stimulating historical journal in the English-speaking world. Past & Present is a British historical academic journal, which was a leading force in the development of social history. It was founded in 1952 by a combination of Marxist and non-Marxist historians. The Marxist historians included members of the Communist Party Historians Group, including E. P. Thompson, Christopher Hill, Eric Hobsbawm, Rodney Hilton, and Dona Torr.
It is published four times a year by Oxford University Press on behalf of The Past and Present Society, a British historical membership association and registered charity.
The society also publishes a book series (Past and Present Publications), and sponsors occasional conferences and appoints postdoctoral fellows.
The journal offers:
• A wide variety of scholarly and original articles on historical, social and cultural change in all parts of the world.
• Four issues a year, each containing around seven major articles plus occasional debates and review essays.
• Challenging work by young historians as well as seminal articles by internationally regarded scholars.
• A range of articles that appeal to specialists and non-specialists, and communicate the results of the most recent historical research in a readable and lively form.
• A forum for debate, encouraging productive controversy.
• The examination of particular problems and periods as well as wider issues of historical change.
