Everyman’s Library

Everyman’s Library was founded on February 15, 1906 with the publication by Joseph Dent (1849-1926) of fifty titles. From Austen to Nabokov and from Achebe to Updike, from literature to poetry and from history to philosophy, Everyman's Library editions feature original introductions, up-to-date bibliographies, and complete chronologies of the authors' lives and works. In 1992 Everyman’s Library launched a series of children’s classics, bringing back into print illustrators such as Aubrey Beardsley, Ivan Bilibin, Walter Crane, Kate Greenaway, Mervyn Peake, Heath Robinson and his brother Charles. This was followed by a hugely popular Everyman’s Pocket Poets series with more than sixty titles in print ranging from popular poets to anthologies.
