The epic story of a publishing giant
In 1817 four young brothers opened a printing shop in downtown
Manhattan. Two centuries later, their small enterprise has grown
into one of the world's largest and most successful publishing
houses. The Harper brothers and their sons and successors created a
grand cultural institution that has become a cornerstone of
America's literary heritage.
Eugene Exman's classic history, published in 1967, The House of
Harper is the fascinating account of the birth and growth of a
magnificent literary empire. Richly detailed, it is filled with
portraits of dynamic publishers and editors, with remarkable
anecdotes about the legendary artists and authors whose works they
championed and brought to the general public--Charles Dickens,
George Eliot, Herman Melville, Mark Twain, Winslow Homer, Henry
James, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Thomas Wolfe, and Aldous Huxley, to
name but a few. More than the enthralling saga of a successful
business venture, it is a story of the shaping of American
literature and culture.
