The English Historical Review is a bimonthly peer-reviewed academic journal that was established in 1886[1] and published by Oxford University Press (formerly by Longman).

Six issues are currently published each year, and typically include at least six articles from a broad chronological range (roughly, medieval, early modern, modern and twentieth century) and around forty book reviews.

The journal has (as of 2023) introduced a new section entitled Reflections, which includes historiographical essays, review articles, and assessments of the contributions of individual scholars to the field.

[2] The journal was established in 1886 by John Dalberg-Acton, 1st Baron Acton, Regius professor of modern history at Cambridge, and a fellow of All Souls College, Oxford.

The current editors are Nandini Chatterjee, Alex Middleton, Jan Rüger, Hannah Skoda, and Alice Taylor.
