SUNY Press sponsors internationally recognized and rapidly growing lists of publications in a variety of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences.
One of the most exciting trends in scholarship on the nineteenth century is the tendency to redraw the boundaries of its chronological, national, and disciplinary limits. Under the general editorship of Pamela K. Gilbert, our series Studies in the Long Nineteenth Century publishes books that are open to such boundary transgressions, including not only comparative studies between the United States and Europe, but also books that extend the “Long Nineteenth Century” back in time to the mid–seventeen hundreds and forward through the fin de siècle and its connections to twentieth-century modernism. Interdisciplinary in nature, the series welcomes projects that intersect a variety of fields, including literature, history, anthropology, history of medicine, urban studies, musicology, architecture, gender studies, art, science and technology studies, postcolonial studies, and subaltern studies.
