History
The firm was founded as Garland Publishing in 1969 by Gavin Borden (1939–1991).[1] Initially it published "18th-century literary criticism".[2] By the late 1970s it was mainly publishing academic reference books along with facsimile and reprint editions for niche markets.[2]
Notable book series published by Garland Publishing included the Garland Reference Library of the Humanities (1975–),[3] the Garland Reference Library of Social Science (1983–),[4] and Garland Medieval Bibliographies (1989–).[5] The Garland Encyclopedia of World Music (10 volumes), originally published by Garland Publishing, is now published by Routledge, another imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group.
In 1984 the firm published a new edition of James Joyce's Ulysses, under the title of Ulysses: A Critical and Synoptic Edition. Edited by Hans Walter Gabler, it was intended to correct "almost 5,000 omissions, transpositions and other errors in the original text"[6] as published in 1922.
In 1983 the firm began publishing scientific textbooks.[2] In 1997 the firm was acquired by Taylor & Francis and published under the name of Garland Science Publishing or Garland Science.
