Macmillan

Publisher Description (unedited publisher data) Counter For over 150 years, since its founding in 1843, Macmillan has been at the heart of British publishing. This collection of essays, representing recent research in the archives at the British library, examines the firms' astute business strategy during the 19th Century, its successful expansion into overseas markets in America and India, its complex and intriguing relations with authors such as Matthew Arnold, Thomas Hardy, Alfred Lord Tennyson, W.B. Yeats, and J.M. Keynes, with additional chapters on Macmillan Magazine and the work of a modern children's editor.

First sentence: In 1843 two brothers from an impoverished Scottish background published the first titles to appear under the Macmillan imprint from their bookshop at 57 Aldersgate Street.
