Welcome to the first ever JFM Online Catalogue (January-March) for Routledge Major Works, Revivals and Library Editions.

Every three months we will be publicising forthcoming titles, highlighting key series, showcasing our broad spectrum of subject areas on offer and picking our top ten 'bestsellers.'

This JFM catalogue includes an FAQ section which will offer you the opportunity to learn more about each individual programme.

Here is our top ten choice of titles for Routledge Major Works which published last year:

  • Second Language Acquisition
  • Multiculturalism
  • Anthropology of Religion
  • Cognitive Linguistics
  • Islamic Political Thought
  • Gender
  • International Law
  • The Great Depression
  • Imperial Japan and the World
  • Islam and Education.

So what do we have in store for you this month? Firstly a nice mix of history titles which will appeal to those interested in Roman, Irish, South Asian, Modern, Medieval and Greek History.

We also have titles which will appeal to Human geographers, economists, philosophers, linguists and even an autobiography on Christmas Humphreys who Van Morrison once referred to in his 1982 song "Cleaning Windows," which appears on the album Beautiful Vision.

Happy browsing - we'll be back in April with our next installment.
