Consolidating and advancing a rapidly expanding field of research across history, law, and the social sciences, \u003cem\u003ePetitions and Petitioning in Europe and North America\u003c\/em\u003e is the first study of these venerable practices from their development in the late medieval period to the emergence of e-petitions in the twenty-first century. With a broad focus on Europe and North America, this ambitious volume breaks new ground by examining the concept, history, and practice of petitions and petitioning across chronological and geographical boundaries, opening up this important topic using an interdisciplinary approach across the humanities and social sciences.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRichard Huzzey, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Modern British History, Durham University\u003c\/em\u003e, Maartje Janse, \u003cem\u003eAssociate Professor of History, Leiden University\u003c\/em\u003e, Henry Miller, \u003cem\u003eVice-Chancellor's Fellow, Northumbria University\u003c\/em\u003e, Joris Oddens, \u003cem\u003eResearch Group Leader, Huygens Institute for the History and Culture of the Netherlands, Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences\u003c\/em\u003e, Brodie Waddell, \u003cem\u003eSenior Lecturer in Early Modern History, Birkbeck, University of London\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRichard Huzzey\u003c\/strong\u003e acted as Co-Investigator for the AHRC network on which this volume is based, and Principal Investigator of the Leverhulme Trust project on 'Rethinking Petitions, Parliament, and People in the long nineteenth century' and the AHRC-ESRC project on 'Petitioning and people power in twentieth-century Britain'.
