The Journal of Historical Sociology was founded in 1988 on the conviction that historical and social studies ultimately have a common subject matter and can only benefit from the interchange of ideas and perspectives. Edited by a distinguished international panel of historians, anthropologists, geographers and sociologists, it is both interdisciplinary in approach and innovative in content. As well as refereed articles, the journal presents reviews essays and commentary in its 'Issues and Agendas' section, and aims to provoke discussion and debate
TopNews and Announcements
Early View Announcement
We are happy to announce that Journal of Historical Sociology is now part of Wiley-Blackwell's Early View service. Articles will now be published on a regular basis online in advance of their appearance in a print issue. These articles are fully peer reviewed, edited and complete - they lack only page numbers and volume/issue details - and are considered fully published from the date they first appear online. This date is shown within the published article online. Because Early View articles are considered fully complete, please bear in mind that changes cannot be made to an article after the online publication date even if it is still yet to appear in print.
The articles are available in full HTML or PDF and can be cited as references by using their Digital Object Identifier (DOI) numbers. For more information on DOIs, please see http://www.doi.org/faq.html
To view all the articles currently available, please visit the journal homepage on http://www.interscience.wiley.com/ and simply click on the "Early View" area at the top of the list of issues available to view. On print publication, the article will be removed from the Early View area and will appear instead in the relevant online issue, complete with page numbers and volume/issue details. No other changes will be made.
The implementation of Early View for Journal of Historical Sociology represents our commitment to get manuscripts available to view to the academic community as quickly as possible, reducing time to publication considerably without sacrificing quality or completeness.

In my understanding of history and sociology, there can be no relationship between them because, in terms of their fundamental preoccupations, history and sociology are and always have been the same thing. Both seek to understand the puzzle of human agency and both seek to do so in terms of the process of social structuring. It is the task that commands the attention, and not the disciplines. '
Philip Abrams, Historical Sociology
These days scholarly journals, online and in print, are a dime a dozen. The difference lies in the rigor of their peer review, and then, and as crucially, at the production end of the research they decide to publish. My experience with JHS has been stellar on both fronts. No detail, no concern, was too minute for their attention. Long may the journal continue to thrive.
