The SPBS has a strong record of publication and since 1992 the Society has published the papers of its annual Spring Symposia. The choice of theme and speakers is at the discretion of each symposiarch but the contributions selected for each volume are blind peer-reviewed by members of the review board. Contributors should check our guidelines before submitting their chapter.
The series is currently published by Routledge and recent volumes are available from Routledge’s website. There may also be limited availability of older volumes in the series, which were previously published by Ashgate.
