The story of Oxford University Press spans five centuries of
printing and publishing. Beginning with the first presses set up in
Oxford in the fifteenth century and the later establishment of a
university printing house, it leads through the publication of
bibles, scholarly works, and the Oxford English Dictionary, to a
twentieth-century expansion that created the largest university
press in the world, playing a part in research, education, and
language learning in more than 50 countries. With access to
extensive archives, The History of OUP traces the impact of
long-term changes in printing technology and the business of
publishing. It also considers the effects of wider trends in
education, reading, and scholarship, in international trade and the
spreading influence of the English language, and in cultural and
social history - both in Oxford and through its presence around the
world. By the late eighteenth century, the University Press was
both printer and publisher. This volume charts its rich and
complicated history between 1780 and 1896, when transformations in
the way books were printed led, in turn, to greater expertise in
distributing and selling Oxford books. Simon Eliot and twelve
expert contributors look at the relationship of the Press with the
wider book trade, and with the University and city of Oxford. They
also explore the growing range of books produced - including, above
all, the creation and initial publication of the Oxford English
Dictionary.
