MINELRES: Call for Book Proposals: "Progress in European Ethnology"

[MINELRES moderator]

Original sender: Stefan Wolff <S.Wolff@bath.ac.uk>


"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.
