* Inspiring new online reviews journals for the humanities *



Blackwell Publishing is amongst the world’s leading publishers in the humanities and social sciences.  With more than 380 journals in these disciplines, 250 new books a year in the area, and partnerships with 300 international scholarly societies in related subjects, Blackwell is in the very best position to launch a series of inspiring new online reviews journals for the humanities.



Three Compass journals are now available; History Compass, Literature Compass, and Philosophy Compass.  Each Compass journal publishes 100 lively, authoritative, peer-reviewed survey articles from across their entire discipline.  They are aimed at experienced researchers, teaching faculty, and students looking for succinct and accessible articles that provide overviews of current research in their area as well as fresh thinking on key issues.  They are also ideal starting points for anyone who needs a quick entry into a new field of research, such as Romanticists seeking reviews of Shakespeare, or American historians looking for overviews of relevant work in European history.



“An immensely valuable resource for teaching and learning, History Compass is the only scholarly publication where historians and students can find such a large and varied amount of high-quality historiography.” 

David Bates, Director of the Institute of Historical Research
