New York University Press
New York University Press founded in 1916 by Elmer Ellsworth Brown, then Chancellor of the University.
New York University Press located on Washington Square in Manhattan's historic and intellectually vibrant Greenwich Village. It was, in Elmer Ellsworth Brown words, created "to publish contributions to higher learning by eminent scholars."
In the more than 90 years since its founding, the Press has sought to reflect the intellectual vitality of New York University by publishing a wide array of provocative and compelling titles, as well as works of lasting scholarly and reference value. NYU Press was once best known for its publication of The Collected Writings of Walt Whitman, the most comprehensive and definitive series of the poet's work. In more recent years, the Press has published major new, award-winning reference works such as the three-volume Encyclopedia of Jewish Life Before and During the Holocaust - a 2001 National Jewish Book Award winner - and The New Encyclopedia of Judaism, and distinctive works of scholarship in history, religion, psychology, literature, cultural studies, politics, sociology, film, and law. In addition, the Press has an established list in New York regional history, politics and culture, Balkan Studies, and has growing lists in such areas as Jewish studies, African-American studies, Asian-American studies, Latino/Latina culture, and youth culture in general. NYU Press publishes approximately 100 new books each year, enjoys a back-list of over 1500 titles, and was described recently by the Chronicle of Higher Education as “a major player in academic publishing.” The Press distributes its books both domestically and internationally through its agents in Britain, Europe, Canada, China, Japan, South Korea, India, Pakistan, Australia, and Latin America. NYU Press is also the exclusive North American distributor of Monthly Review Press and Fordham University Press. While the Press's mandate has evolved over the decades, adjusting to changes in the academy and in the publishing world, Brown's words continue to ring true to this day in describing the Press's bedrock purpose.
