George L. Mosse Series in the History of European Culture, Sexuality, and Ideas

Steven E. Aschheim, Annette Becker, Skye Doney, and David J. Sorkin, Series Editors

The Mosse Series promotes the vibrant international collaboration and community that historian George L. Mosse created during his lifetime by publishing major innovative works by outstanding scholars in European cultural and intellectual history. The Mosse Series publishes in three categories:

  1. Books in the English language based on the biennial Mosse Lectures given by a noted scholar chosen by the Mosse Program Committee.
  2. Outstanding original English-language manuscripts in European cultural and intellectual history, selected by a five-member Mosse Series Editorial Committee made up of faculty from the history departments at UW–Madison and the Hebrew University and a representative of the UW Press.
  3. English translations of books in European cultural and intellectual history. The Mosse Series does not provide translation grants or subventions. The series Editorial Committee must approve the choice to include a translated book in the series and approve the quality of the translation.

Please send inquiries to UW Press Acquisitions Editor Nathan MacBrien.
