History

NYU Press was founded in 1916 by the then chancellor of NYU, Elmer Ellsworth Brown, in order, he said, to "publish contributions to higher learning by eminent scholars."[1]

Reputation

Once best known for the comprehensive and definitive publication of The Collected Writings of Walt Whitman, NYU Press has now published numerous award-winning scholarly works including Converge Culture (2007) by Henry Jenkins, The Rabbi's Wife (2006) by Shuly Schwartz, and the Encyclopedia of Jewish Life Before and During the Holocaust (2002).[1] It was spotlighted by the Huffington Post in 2010, which described NYU Press as "consistently publish[ing] scholarly yet accessible books", and "ahead of the cultural curve—pushing literary trends—rather than behind it".[2]
