Edward Arnold (publisher)

Edward Arnold was a British publishing house founded in 1890 by Edward Arnold. It specialized in academic and educational books, particularly in the fields of science, medicine, humanities, and social sciences. Initially, the firm also published fiction and general interest titles, but later focused on scholarly and professional works.

Edward Arnold was known for the quality of its publications and its commitment to disseminating knowledge. It established a strong reputation for publishing leading academics and researchers.

In 2002, Edward Arnold was acquired by Hodder Headline, which was subsequently acquired by Hachette UK. The Edward Arnold imprint continues to be used by Hodder Education, primarily for publications aimed at higher education and professional development. While no longer an independent entity, the name retains recognition as a publisher of respected academic texts.
