This issue of EHQ marks fifty years since the launch of European Studies Review in January 1971. Based at the University of Lancaster, with J. H. Shennan as editor, ESR’s first editorial panel consisted entirely of academics from that institution. Its title reflected the then-fashionable notion that ‘European Studies’ – embracing history, politics, geography, languages and so on – represented a natural grouping of specialisms, and its editorial panel included scholars from Lancaster’s Departments of History, Politics, French Studies and Russian and Soviet Studies. A subscription to ESR for that year cost three pounds and fifteen shillings. Its first publisher was Macmillan, but within three years the journal had been taken on by SAGE, which has remained our publisher to this day.
