The revision of assumptions and orthodoxies, always professed as the role of scholarship in each generation but seldom really attempted, has increasingly become a reality. Historians previously unused to debating their major premises have been confronted by fundamental challenges to their subjects - the reconceptualisation of familiar issues and the revision of accepted chronological, geographical and cultural frameworks have characterised much of the best recent research. Increasingly, too, areas of scholarship have passed through this phase of conflict and recasting, and works of synthesis are now emerging in idioms which incorporate new perspectives on old areas of study. This series is designed to accommodate, encourage and promote books which embody the latest thinking in this idiom. The series aims to publish bold, innovative statements in British, European and American history since the Reformation and it will pay particular attention to the writings and insights of younger scholars on both sides of the Atlantic.
