The Massachusetts Historical Review
The MHR, a peer-reviewed annual journal of the Massachusetts Historical
Society, seeks articles on any aspect of the history of the Commonwealth,
its place in the region and nation, and the lives of its citizens. We are
especially interested in recovering the legacies of the forgotten and wish
to bring the highest scholarship to the widest possible audience.
Now in its third year, the MHR has published essays on topics from colonial
history and the American Revolution to the Industrial Revolution and the
creation of the Internet. Our contributors include some of the best
writers working in the field of history today, skilled in their craft and
thoroughly knowledgeable in their specialties. They also include gifted young
scholars who are familiarizing our readers with some of the latest trends and the newest discoveries in American history.
We are pleased to announce that volume 3 (2001), available this fall, will
contain:
- an excerpt from David McCullough, new biography of John Adams
- Laurel Thacher Ulrich's "John Winthrop's City of Women"
- Peter Way's "Soldiers of Misfortune: New England Regulars and the Fall of
Oswego, 1755-1756"
- Erin Pipkin's "'Striking in its promise': the Artistic Career of Sarah
Gooll Putnam (1851-1912)"
- Helen Deese's "'My life. . . reads to me like a romance': The Journals of
Caroline Healy Dall"
- Ted Steinberg's "Split Personality Ponds," a review essay focusing on
Diana
Muir, Reflections in Bullough's Pond: Economy and Ecosystem in New England
The MHR, one benefit of membership in the Massachusetts Historical Society,
is also available to individuals for $15, institutions $20, and
overseas $25 as a standing order or on a yearly basis. Gift subscriptions are also available.
