Issues of the Southampton Journal of History

Issue 9|2026

Issue 9 of the journal brings a collection of work exploring British history. Through these chapters, we would love to take you on a ride through British history in reverse chronological order.

Issue 8| 2025

Issue 8 of the journal speaks to some of the most enduring and urgent questions historians grapple with: How are identities constructed and contested? How do power, violence, and ideology shape societies? What role do memory, material culture, and narrative play in our understanding of the past? Whether examining gender and nationalism, medieval chivalry, sexology, imperialism, or the legacies of modern warfare, each contribution offers fresh insight into the human experience and the historian’s craft.
