More About Variorum
The Variorum Collected Studies
Series has a prominent place in the Ashgate lists, with an
international reputation established over the last 35 years for the
publication of key research by leading scholars across the fields
of historical studies. Subjects covered range from antiquity to the
19th century, and include the histories of science, philosophy, art
and music. This series is now complemented by reference collections
including early Islamic history and the expansion of Europe.
With a published list of well over 900 titles, the Variorum Collected Studies Series has
seen great expansion. Its long-standing strengths in Byzantine,
medieval and early modern history are matched by the lists in Asian
history, Islamic studies and the history of science and music.
Variorum's prominence in the field of Byzantine studies is now
enhanced by the series Birmingham Byzantine and Ottoman Monographs
and the Publications for the Society for
the Promotion of Byzantine Studies.
Alongside the Collected Studies Series are a set of
reference series, bringing together key articles on particular
historical topics. The Formation of the
Classical Islamic World provides a comprehensive body of
research making available the most important papers and articles on
the rise and spread of Islam in the early Middle Ages. Its coverage
includes all aspects of the Islamic world, from its 'pre-history'
up to c. 950 AD. To complement this, there is starting a new series
on The Worlds of Eastern Christianity, 300-1500.
The 'European expansion' is one of the factors that has shaped
world history, but approaches to the subject have changed markedly
over the past decades. The new series The Expansion of Latin Europe,
1000-1500 sets the scene for the subjects covered in
An Expanding World: The European Impact
on World History, 1450-1800, and The Pacific World: Lands, Peoples, and History
of the Pacific, 1500-1900 presents the historical
processes and developments in the multi-century 'opening of the
Pacific' and the linking together of the lands around and within
this great ocean.
The interactions between technology, science and economic and
cultural history form the subject of Studies in the History of Civil
Engineering. The 12 volumes in this series examine the
engineering that lies behind all great building projects, from
antiquity through into the industrial era.
These series form one part of the Ashgate lists in History.
