Instructions for Authors

Last revised on 10 February 2012 page 1 of 6

ScopeThe early modern period of world history (ca. 1300-1800) was marked by a rapidly increasinglevel of global interaction. Between the aftermath of Mongol conquest in the East and the onsetof industrialization in the West, a framework was established for new kinds of contacts andcollective self-definition across an unprecedented range of human and physical geographies. TheJournal of Early Modern History (JEMH), the official journal of the University of Minnesota Center forEarly Modern History, is the first scholarly journal dedicated to the study of early modernity

from this world-historical perspective, whether through explicitly comparative studies, or by thegrouping of studies around a given thematic, chronological, or geographic frame. JEMH invitessubmissions both of individual articles and of proposals for special editions (which may appearup to twice a year).
