History
Hodder and Stoughton's importance in publishing history has been well-documented by John Attenborough in A Living Memory. Hodder and Stoughton, Publishers, 1868-1975 (London, 1975) [a copy of which is held in the Printed Books Section of Guildhall Library].
The company made a major contribution to the publishing of popular fiction, especially through its famous Yellow Jacket series, as well as being important theological publishers.
The archives also include papers of some of the firm's subsidiary or associated publishers, such as Edward Arnold Ltd, and the Brockhampton Press; and subsidiary or associated periodicals, such as The Bookman and The British Weekly. The company's fairly complicated administrative history involving these subsidiary and associated companies is described in John Attenborough's history.
The company's offices were: 27 Paternoster Row, 1868-1906; St Paul's House, Warwick Square, 1906-76; Dunton Green, Kent, 1976-.
Hodder and Stoughton Limited merged with Headline Book Publishing in 1993 to become Hodder Headline Plc.
