Notes

  • Trubner was a scholarly publishing firm founded in Ludgate Hill in 1851 by German-born Nicholas Trubner, and known for the publication of oriental literature, philology and philosophy, and American literature. Trubner was the first English publisher of some of the novels of Jessie Couvreur (Tasma), and of Marcus Clarkes's novel Long Odds (1869).

    After Trubner's death in 1884, his widow kept the firm operating with the help of partners, including William Heinemann, who left to begin his own successful publishing firm. The firm was purchased in 1889 by Horatio William Bottomley, who merged it with Kegan Paul, Trench and Company, and Charles Redway, to form Kegan Paul, Trench and Trubner.

    In 1912 the firm was taken over by George Routledge and Sons, where it was run as a separate company until 1947, when the two companies merged to form Routledge and Kegan Paul.
