Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies

Aims & Scope

The Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies (JECS) acts as a meeting-place for the many academic disciplines that make up a period study: among others History, Literature, Science, Economics, Fine Art, Music, Religion, Geography and Popular Culture.

Special notice is taken of research that explores links between the disciplines, and which helps to develop cross-disciplinary fields of enquiry.

Significant and original research taking any methodological approach – from the heavily historicised and data-driven to the theoretically-informed – is all equally valued.

JECS seeks to publish the best research on the long eighteenth-century (circa 1675-1825) irrespective of which parts of the world this research concerns.

While most of the articles appearing since its launch (as the British Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies) in 1978 have focused on Western Europe and North America, new research on the eighteenth century beyond those borders, and on the interconnected ‘global eighteenth century’, is now particularly welcome.
