Early Medieval Europe

Aims & Scope

Early Medieval Europe provides an indispensable source of information and debate on the history of Europe from the later Roman Empire to the eleventh century.

The journal is a thoroughly interdisciplinary forum, encouraging the discussion of archaeology, numismatics, palaeography, diplomatic, literature, onomastics, art history, linguistics and epigraphy, as well as more traditional historical approaches.

It covers Europe in its entirety, including material on Iceland, Ireland, the British Isles, Scandinavia and Continental Europe (both west and east).

Early Medieval Europe is unique in its chronological, methodological and geographical scope.

Filling an important gap, it is indispensable reading for all students and scholars of the early medieval world.

With an editorial board of scholars whose interests cover the study of the early middle ages in its entirety, and a reputable board of international corresponding editors, Early Medieval Europe stands at the very centre of debate in early medieval studies.
