Historians/geographers/archaeologists: I'm looking for books where the historian goes to the places they are writing about as an integral part of the work (think Gange, Frayed Atlantic Edge). Also looking for theory/method about going to places & imagining them in the past. Any suggestions?

Hello, new followers! Reposting this recent announcement for those who missed it: New era for the HLQ. Please share widely! If you study the #earlymodern period (c. 1400-1800) in any discipline, we'd love to see what you're working on. www.pennpress.org/journals/jou...

A flyer advertising a call for submissions for the Huntington Library Quarterly. The Text reads: The Huntington Library Quarterly (HLQ) is a peer-reviewed journal featuring original research and new perspectives on the early modern period, broadly defined (c. 1400–1800). Its content reflects an early modern world that was connected and cosmopolitan, with diverse communities and cultures increasingly linked by the circulation of people, ideas, social practices, and material objects in ways that transcend disciplinary and geographic boundaries. We invite submissions that draw on the sources, methods, and theoretical frameworks of literature, art, history, science, medicine, material culture, music, performance, and critical cultural studies, with a preference for scholarship that is broadly legible across disciplines.

HLQ’s historical focus on Britain and its American colonies has been dramatically expanded to embrace broader and more diverse fields of inquiry, including scholarship rooted in continental Europe, the African Diaspora, and the Indigenous Americas, as well as their intersections with Mediterranean, Pacific, and Indian Ocean worlds.

The Huntington Library Quarterly (HLQ) invites article submissions for two featured issues that will mark the journal’s new direction. Submissions received before 15 January 2025 will be evaluated for the first of these issues, to be published in September 2025. Submissions received before 15 March 2025 will be evaluated for the second of these issues, to be published in December 2025.
