More About Ashgate's Art and Visual Studies List

Ashgate’s art-book publishing consists of two strands: highly specialized, scholarly research monographs and essay collections in Visual Studies, which are published under the Ashgate imprint, and illustrated art books for specialists, professionals and enthusiasts, which are published under the Lund Humphries imprint.

Ashgate’s scholarly Visual Studies programme features rigorously peer-reviewed, high quality original research by authors from around the globe.

We continue to expand the Visual Studies publishing programme, from the medieval period through to the mid twentieth-century. Important development areas, for which book proposals are especially welcome, are:

  • women’s/gender studies
  • book/publishing history and print culture
  • modernism/modernist studies
  • the interrelationship between art history and the history of science
  • religion and visual studies.

We remain committed to publishing both single-author volumes and essay collections; and we are expanding the list to include essential reference works as well. We welcome both proposals for reference works, and suggestions about the kinds of reference works that would be most useful to art historians.

 

Lund Humphries, part of the Ashgate Publishing Group since 1999, is a long-established publisher of illustrated art books. We welcome proposals for specialist illustrated books across the visuals arts, with a particular interest in the following areas:
