The Journal of the Holy Roman Empire is a peer-reviewed e-journal that offers original research on the history and culture of the Empire. We welcome contributions from all avenues of historical inquiry, including but certainly not limited to political, religious, gender, social, economic, and military history. The goal of JHRE is to foster scholarship on historical issues that cross the boundaries of the modern nation-state and of historiographical periodization. We encourage submissions with either a local or Empire-wide focus, but we especially hope to provide a forum for research that concerns more than one modern state or that considers Empire-wide institutions, culture, or history.

The Journal of the Holy Roman Empire is a biannual publication, issued under the auspices of the Society for the Study of the Holy Roman Empire. In preparation for our first issue, we invite the submission of academic articles on the Holy Roman Empire. Contributions should be original work that has not been published previously and has not been simultaneously submitted to other journals for publication. Articles should include an abstract of not more than 150 words, written in English, that clearly defines the thesis of the work. The full address of the author, including email address, and the title of the work should appear on a separate title page. Manuscripts should ordinarily be between 6000-8000 words, but may be no longer than 10,000 words (excluding notes). All manuscripts are subject to editorial modification. Please send all submissions in electronic form via email attachment to jhreditors@gmail.com. Please send all manuscripts in Microsoft Word or RTF format ONLY.

Submission Deadline: November 1, 2005

We welcome all questions and enquiries at jhreditors@gmail.com
