On Periodisation

We have given considerable thought to how best to structure the historical periods on the Bloomsbury History platform, ensuring that the approach is clear and meaningful, while also allowing for the nuances of history studies across the world. To achieve this, we have consulted with academic historians and drawn on their expertise to inform our decisions. Our aim is to provide a framework that supports users in navigating content effectively while reflecting a wide variety of scholarly perspectives.

As the platform continues to grow and new material is added, we will review and refine this structure as needed, with the ongoing support of our Advisory Boards. Upcoming features will include interactive timeline searches and enhanced cultural and regional categorisation, ensuring a richer, more tailored experience as new content is added.

Bloomsbury Cultural Histories

Part of the Bloomsbury Cultural History collection and as individual sets, the Cultural Histories Series offers an authoritative survey of a wide range of subjects throughout history. Subject focused set includes a volume covering it during a specific period.
