The SPBS has a strong record of publication and since 1992 the Society has published the papers of its annual Spring Symposia. Originally organised by Averil Cameron, the warden of Keble College, Oxford. This series is now overseen by Professor Elizabeth Jefferys of Exeter College, Oxford and published by Variorum.

Members can purchase these high quality books in hardback at the discount price of £35 per volume (60% of marked price), directly from the membership secretary.

Ashgate now has a dedicated web page for the SPBS series here...
