French History

Aims & Scope

French History is an international forum for major new articles on the entire range of French history from the early middle ages to the twenty-first century.

As well as individual submissions, we welcome suggestions for special issues on important themes.

We also commission reviews and review essays and are committed to translating articles by French historians.

We encourage fresh approaches and new fields of enquiry, including transnational encounters with France and the Francophone world, and are open to all areas of historical work and interdisciplinary approaches.
