Arnold Publishers

Welcome to Arnold Publishers. Book and journal publishers for students, academics and professionals — from Muir's Textbook of Pathology to the classroom texts, handbooks and monographs shaping the disciplines we have served longest.

The list runs from teaching texts and clinical references through research monographs and edited handbooks, with editions used in universities and professional practice on both sides of the Atlantic. Our authors and editors are the people setting the syllabus, writing the standards, and reviewing for the journals where their work first lands.

The titles above are the ones from the 2000-era publishing programme still moving traffic and citations into the catalogue today — late-edition standards in clinical medicine and pathology, the statistical-modelling reference texts, and the standalone monographs that opened new strands on the list. Most appear in current university reading lists; later editions are noted on each book's record.

The founder

Edward Augustus
Arnold

15 July 1857 — 6 November 1942

Truro · London · Budleigh Salterton

Edward Arnold founded this firm.

Born in Truro in 1857, Edward Arnold was the grandson of Thomas Arnold of Rugby and the nephew of Matthew Arnold. He was educated at Eton and Hertford College, Oxford, served his editorial apprenticeship at Richard Bentley's and then at John Murray — where he edited Murray's Magazine from 1887 — and in January 1890 set up his own publishing business in London's Covent Garden.

Trading as Edward Arnold and later as Edward Arnold & Co., he built the list around educational textbooks, medical and scientific texts, accounts of exploration and mountaineering, and Egyptology. He published most of E. M. Forster's major works, including the early novels that made the imprint's literary reputation. The firm passed through subsequent ownership — eventually as part of Hodder Arnold — but the Edward Arnold imprint name has appeared on editions continuously since the founding year.

Edward Arnold died at Budleigh Salterton in 1942. The list catalogued on this site descends directly from the firm he founded; modern editions, citations, and editorial methodology trace back to the 1890 imprint.
