Lehigh University Press x Bloomsbury Publishing Collaboration
Lehigh University Press has partnered with Bloomsbury Publishing, combining LUP's editorial vision with Bloomsbury's global publishing infrastructure.
LUP Collaboration with Bloomsbury Publishing
Posted:
We are pleased to announce a new collaboration between Lehigh University Press and Bloomsbury Publishing. This new partnership, in which LUP will operate as an imprint of Bloomsbury, is the result of a year-long transition that began in 2024 with Bloomsbury’s acquisition of LUP’s long-standing co-publishing partner, Rowman & Littlefield. LUP titles can now be found on Bloomsbury’s website, where they are available for purchase in hardcopy and electronic formats.
As a Bloomsbury imprint, LUP maintains editorial control of all LU Press books, and the Lehigh University Press editorial board continues to review and approve all LUP projects. Bloomsbury will produce and distribute LUP books and will work with our editors and director to advance LUP’s mission. Bloomsbury has exceptional production, marketing, and distribution teams, a significant digital platform, and a large global footprint. We believe this new partnership will provide many opportunities for the press and our authors as we continue to advance the humanities and social sciences through the publication of important scholarly monographs, edited collections, and primary source materials.
"The Wife of Bath in Afterlife is a must-read not only for all serious-minded Chaucerian scholars but also for avid readers who earnestly endeavor to enhance their knowledge about theWife of Bath and to broaden their capacity for learning.”
-- Christina Pinkston, Norfolk State University
Review of Fiddled out of Reason, by John Willilam Knapp
"a valuable contribution to our understanding of the hymn as a literary and cultural phenomenon."
-- Joshua Swidzinski, University of Portland
The Final Days of Edgar Allan Poe, by David F. Gaylin, has been "recommended for all readers" by Choice Reviews and was listed in their Community College Top 75 titles.
"This engaging collection redresses the balance of Poe studies to consider his work from the perspective of women, those in his works and those reading them. . . . [It] offers a welcome emphasis on the irrepressibility of women in his work who ‘die but do not stay dead’"
Very much in the spirit of Robertson's many impacts on our field, this collection opens a range of fascinating apertures into the medieval literary world that promise to be useful, both to fellow scholars and in a variety of literature classrooms.
New Directions in Medieval Mystical and Devotional Literature not only makes a fitting tribute to a beloved scholar and teacher; it constitutes a significant contribution to the field in its own right. The essays in this beautifully presented book will be essential reading for anyone interested in late-medieval vernacular theology and its reception, both in England and beyond.
--Nicholas Watson, professor of English, Harvard University
Dolan and Labbe’s wide-ranging yet cohesive collection of essays offers a comprehensive and convincing breadth that succeeds in its mission of placing Charlotte Smith. Beyond Smithian scholarship, the volume comes at a prescient time.
--Heather Heckman-McKenna University of Missouri-Columbia
