Pages in this section
Since 1998 the British Academy has produced a series of monographs that has provided an excellent publishing opportunity and showcase for British Academy-supported early career researchers (now including British Academy Postdoctoral Fellows, British Academy Newton International Fellows, and British Academy / Wolfson Fellows).
If you are interested in publishing a monograph with us, please see our guidelines for proposing a British Academy Monograph.
Volumes are published by Oxford University Press.
Some older volumes are available from Oxbow Books.
For Librarians: British Academy Monographs published from 2003 up to April 2020 are included in British Academy Scholarship Online. More recent Monographs will be added in further updates.
