Welcome to Bloomsbury Academic
Bloomsbury is a leading international academic publisher, unconstrained by the conflicting interests of
conglomerate ownership or a single academic institution. We are based in London, Berlin, New York, and Sydney.
Within Bloomsbury Academic, we publish under a number of prestigious and historic imprint names. These
include Methuen Drama, T&T Clark, The Arden Shakespeare, Berg, and Bristol Classical Press. All new
Continuum titles, a list we purchased in July 2011, are now published under the Bloomsbury name. These books
are noted as Continuum in the catalogue for identification purposes.
We enjoy the business of publishing, and thrive on working with authors and publishing partners to devise a
successful approach for each title we publish. Our expertise and experience allow us to make quick decisions,
and, when needed, to bring important ideas rapidly to a global readership. New technology provides many
new paths to market, and Bloomsbury is actively engaged in digital distribution, in a way which maximises
dissemination and protects rights holders.
Publishing in Print and Digital
Bloomsbury Academic now publishes around 1,100 titles each year, with a particularly big presence in the
Humanities and Social Sciences. Our backlist comprises some 20,000 titles. An increasingly important part
of our programme comes from digital services.
Our output includes journals, digital services, textbooks, supplementary course books, research monographs,
reference works and professional books. Academic proposals are peer-reviewed before we commit to
publication, to help ensure quality and to support the career progression of our authors.
Our Authors
We publish many world-leading writers, Nobel laureates and researchers in their fields, and actively seek out
the emerging generation. These include Karl Barth, Joseph Ratzinger, Rowan Williams, George Bernard Shaw,
Jonathan Sacks, Slavoj Žižek, Theodor Adorno, Martin Heidegger, Alain Badiou, Bertolt Brecht, Arthur Miller,
Michael Frayn, Paulo Freire, M A K Halliday, Noel Coward, Willy Russell, Winston Churchill, Jean Anouilh, Edward
Bond, Dario Fo, Tennessee Williams and Wole Soyinka.
I hope you enjoy reading our latest seasonal catalogue.
