We look to publish high quality contributions on any aspect of the history of retailing and consumption: from antiquity to the 21st century, and from advertising and shopping to consumption rituals and political identity.

Articles might take a variety of forms: case studies of particular firms, places or practices; comparative analyses across space or time; review essays challenging or championing particular theoretical persepctives; or cross-disciiplinary comparisons, for example linking archival and literary or artefactual sources.  We also want to encourage "thought pieces": shorter articles which could provide historical parallels with topical issues or explore particular objects, documents, or shops.  History of Retailing is published three times annually (rolling deadline).
