Chapman and Hall

Founded in London in the first half of the 19th century by Edward Chapman and William Hall, Chapman & Hall built a strong reputation as a British publishing house. It is especially remembered for publishing Charles Dickens during key periods of his career, and it was also associated with writers including Thomas Carlyle, William Makepeace Thackeray, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, and Anthony Trollope.

Over time, the firm expanded beyond literary publishing and became known as an academic and scientific imprint. In the modern era, Chapman & Hall has continued through corporate changes and is recognized as an imprint within CRC Press.

Because Chapman & Hall is a publishing house rather than a single person, there does not appear to be a suitable author portrait to use here.
