About the Press |
The Ohio State University Press was established in 1957 and currently
publishes 30 new books a year. We specialize in literary
studies, including narrative theory,
Victorian studies,
medieval studies, and classics. We also publish
annual winners of our short
fiction and poetry
prizes.
Among the most notable titles published by the Press are Language Files, an introductory linguistics textbook now in its 10th edition; The Centenary Edition of the Works of Nathaniel Hawthorne, the definitive 23-volume edition of the American master's writings; Dickens' Journalism, a 4-volume collection; The Death of Contract, a classic in legal studies; and Listen to Me Good, a moving autobiography of an Alabama midwife. The Press was the original publisher of the Helen Hooven Santmyer blockbuster “. . . And Ladies of the Club,” which is now out of print.
In addition to its books, the Press publishes a distinguished group of journals including the Journal of Higher Education, the leading scholarly journal on the institution of higher education. We also publish American Periodicals and Narrative.
