Rethinking History: The Journal of Theory and Practice invites submissions for a special issue devoted to the topic: Rethinking Biography.

We are interested in considering both theoretical essays on the problems and possibilities for contemporary biography as well as pieces of experimental biographical writing--either parts of works in progress or short biographical studies. Our definition of biography is broad enough to include lives told in media other than the printed page, such as film, video, graphics, and on the internet.

Rethinking History: The Journal of Theory and Practice is a refereed journal now in its sixth year of publication. We are always open to submissions on a wide range of issues dealing with historical writing and are particularly interested in experiments in new ways of writing the past.

Our normal limit for essays is 8000 words; we also regularly feature Miniatures, works of up to but no more than 1500 words.

Manuscripts or ideas for essays may be communicated to either of the journal's two editors. For a free copy of the journal, please go to our publisher's web site: http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/routledge/13642529.html
