Essays Style

Essays in History generally adheres to the standards set forth in The Chicago Manual of Style, 14th ed. (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1993). Notable exceptions are listed on our style sheet. Because Essays in History is a journal of general interest to historians of various periods, authors should take care to make their submissions interesting and comprehensible to a scholarly, nonspecialist audience. They should avoid jargon and should not assume that readers have detailed knowledge of their subjects or fields.

Please observe our style sheet
