An Interview with Series Editors – Peer Review Week

Berghahn Books has been a rigorous peer-reviewed press since its inception in 1994 and has always considered this essential both for assuring the quality and scholarship of our titles but also for providing insightful feedback for our authors to enable them to improve, refine and develop their work. Supporting early career academics is an important part of our mission and the constructive guidance that is offered by skilled peer reviewers can often be vital when developing a first publication. We extend our deepest appreciation to peer reviewers for their tireless commitment to ensuring the high quality of academic research in general and for the support and contribution they make to our publishing programme at Berghahn Books. 

Mark Stanton, Books Editorial Director 

To celebrate Peer Review Week, Berghahn Books coordinated several interviews with authors, series editors and journal editors to explore what their views of our process are and to thank our peer reviewers for the valuable work they do.

Event Announcement: Book Launch for Journeys into Madness: Mapping Mental Illness in the Austro-Hungarian Empire

The latest addition to Berghahn’s Austrian and Habsburg Studies series, Journeys into Madness, co-edited by Gemma Blackshaw and Sabine Wieber, launches at the Freud Museum London on 26 June 2012. The editors, along with many of the authors, will be there to talk to members of the public about the book, and advance copies will be available to purchase at the event. Gemma’s essay for the book considers the intriguing case of the ‘mad’ Austrian writer, Peter Altenberg. The book launch is combined with the UK première of her recent documentary film collaboration with award-winning artist and filmmaker David Bickerstaff, Peter Altenberg: The Little Pocket Mirror, which introduces the life and work of this troubled man to English-speaking audiences. To find out more information, and to book a place to attend the book launch and film screening see http://www.freud.org.uk/events/74694/altenberg-the-little-pocket-mirror/.
