About the author
Methuen & Co., now widely known as Methuen Publishing, is an English publishing house founded by Sir Algernon Methuen in 1889. It began as a way to publish and market his own educational textbooks, then started publishing in London in 1892 and soon expanded beyond academic works.
Over time, the company built a broader literary list and became associated with notable authors and popular titles. Its early success included publishing Rudyard Kipling, and the firm later developed a reputation as an established part of British publishing.
The company changed over the years through new leadership and ownership, but the Methuen name has endured. Today it is remembered both for its late-Victorian beginnings and for the lasting place it holds in the history of English-language publishing.
