AHY Mission Statement

Founded in 1965 by R. John Rath, the Austrian History Yearbook remains the only English-language journal devoted to the history of the territories in Central Europe that were formerly under Habsburg rule and now comprise the modern states of Austria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and parts of Italy, Poland, Ukraine, Romania and Serbia. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the search for stability in the former East bloc has brought an upsurge of interest in the region's Habsburg heritage. Typically, each issue of the Yearbook contains seven to eight fully peer-reviewed articles, a forum on an important historical issue, a review article, and approximately 40 book reviews.

AHY Volume XL (2009)

This volume of AHY features two stimulating forum sections. The first forum honors R. J. W. Evans, Regius Professor of Modern History at Oxford University, on the thirtieth anniversary of his path-breaking book, The Making of the Habsburg Monarchy, 1550–1700 (Oxford, 1979). Suitably, the forum casts new light on what Evans identified as the chief factors in forming the early modern Habsburg state: individual rulers and the dynasty, the nobility, and the church, tied together by bonds of law, administrative practice, social customs, and beliefs.

The second forum takes up another great concern of the monarchy in the early modern era, the “Ottoman menace”—not as a matter of actual warfare and diplomacy from the fifteenth to the eighteenth centuries, but rather as a factor in historical memory, mythology, and ideology during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

How to Submit to AHY

The Austrian History Yearbook is a peer-reviewed, annual journal for the study of the Habsburg monarchy, the Republic of Austria, and the other post-1919 successor states if the work has a clear thematic link to the monarchy or the Republic of Austria. It welcomes any submission that has a significant historical dimension or uses historical modes of analysis. Tables of contents for past issues of the AHY are available on this web site and provide an indication of the ranges of topics covered by the Yearbook.

The language of publication is English, but the editors will consider manuscripts in other languages. Authors submitting manuscripts in languages other than English must provide English translations checked by native English speakers prior to publication.

The entire text (including quotations, notes, and other supporting material) must be typed double-spaced with generous margins. Notes should be numbered consecutively throughout and placed in a separate section at the end of the text along with any figures or tables. Manuscripts should be no more than thirty pages in length, not counting notes, tables, figures, and other supporting material. Before a submitted article is published, it is refereed by at least two outside scholars. Electronic copies of final versions of accepted manuscripts must be submitted via email and must be formatted according to Yearbook style guidelines; a style sheet can be obtained from the editors.

If you wish to submit an article, please send an electronic copy to the assistant editor of the Austrian History Yearbook.
