The TORCH/Princeton Lectures in European Culture and History is a series which aims to make manifest the commitment to interdisciplinary scholarship and public engagement which are so crucially important both to TORCH and to Princeton University Press.
The aim of the series is to attract scholars of acknowledged international recognition for lectures, and so too consequent books, which will serve as distinctively singular statements. These might be new syntheses of recent learning, explicit challenges to disciplinary thinking, or suggestions for fresh explorations on the frontiers of a subject. The pitch and register will be suited to an intellectually curious general public constituency, but should not assume expertise in any discrete area of scholarship.
