Commissioning books for new series in European Ethnology

From: Ullrich Kockel [mailto:[email protected]]

"Progress in European Ethnology" is a new monograph series, published by
Ashgate, and launched in 2002.

The series aims to survey research in European ethnology, and especially to
make non-anglophone intellectual traditions accessible to an anglophone
readership, both as a reference collection and as individual books written
in an accessible form to make them suitable for undergraduate and
postgraduate courses. The series comprises 'regional' monographs, providing
a critical overview of different national/ regional traditions in European
ethnology and their development, and including bibliographies of key texts
in the languages of the respective region as well as material in English. It
also features edited and authored volumes on current research issues. Up to
three volumes per annum will be published in the series. The readership
includes primarily Europeanists in English-speaking countries, especially in
the fields of anthropology, folklore, social and cultural history,
geography, the history of ideas, and modern languages. Volumes on Austria
and Ireland have already been commissioned, and a proposal on France is
currently being developed.

The series editor invites proposals for further regional/national volumes,
edited collections and topical research monographs. Proposals for new titles
should contain:

- A 150-250 word abstract which describes the major elements of the book,
its structure and methodology.

- A brief rationale for the book, explaining why it would be suitable for
the series.

- A brief assessment of the target market.

- A draft table of contents or outline, with indication of the number and
nature of illustrations, where appropriate.

- One or two sample chapters or an introduction.

- Your most recent curriculum vitae.

- Your complete address, as well as telephone and fax numbers and email
address, so that we can contact you quickly.
