The Medieval Low Countries. An Annual Review is a new peer-reviewed journal featuring articles on the Low Countries (viewed in its broadest sense as the estuaries of Scheldt, Meuse, Rhine and IJssel with their corresponding hinterlands), from the start of the fifth to the second half of the sixteenth century. During these centuries this was one of the major centers of economic, cultural, religious and social creativity in Europe. By publishing the best of new scholarship concerning the region over the course of the Middle Ages, The Medieval Low Countries will make these achievements more fully visible and help display the connections between changes in each domain. At the same time, the journal will provide a forum for exchange and cooperation between both established and upcoming scholars in several disciplines, whether in Europe, the United States, or beyond.
