The journal is a thoroughly interdisciplinary forum, encouraging the discussion of archaeology, numismatics, palaeography, diplomatic, literature, onomastics, art history, linguistics and epigraphy, as well as more traditional historical approaches. It covers Europe in its entirety, including material on Iceland, Ireland, the British Isles, Scandinavia and Continental Europe (both west and east).

'The contributors... are distinguished and their scholarship is solid. For those who work in its area, Early Medieval Europe will be indispensable. It is clearly and deservedly destined to be influential.'
Times Higher Education Supplement

'EME articles are important contributions to our field. I built an upper level course around all the essays that had appeared thus far in EME and it was a great success with students, especially the review essays. They provided them not only with the most recent research findings, but also taught them how to frame an argument, present evidence, and so on.'
John Contreni, Purdue University
