Weidenfeld & Nicolson Ltd (established 1949), often shortened to W&N or Weidenfeld , is a British publisher of fiction and reference books. It has been a division of the French-owned Orion Publishing Group since 1991.
History [ edit ]
George Weidenfeld and Nigel Nicolson founded Weidenfeld & Nicolson in 1949 with a reception at Brown's Hotel , London.[1] [2] Vladimir Nabokov 's Lolita Portrait of a Marriage Vita Sackville-West and father Harold Nicolson . In its early years Weidenfeld also published nonfiction works by Isaiah Berlin , Hugh Trevor-Roper , and Rose Macaulay , and novels by Mary McCarthy and Saul Bellow . Later it published titles by world leaders and historians, along with contemporary fiction and glossy illustrated books.[3] [4] [5]
Weidenfeld was one of Orion's first acquisitions after the group's founding in 1991, and formed the core of its offerings. At that time Weidenfeld imprints included Phoenix , its own much earlier establishment; and J. M. Dent , acquired in 1988 along with its Everyman series. Orion was acquired in turn by Hachette Livre in 1998.[6] Everyman Library were sold in 1991, and survive as a Random House property; paperbacks of Everyman Classics continued under Orion. In January 2002, Cassell imprints, including the Cassell Reference and Cassell Military were joined with the Weidenfeld imprints to form a new division under the name of Weidenfeld & Nicolson.[7]
Late in 2013, W&N published the British edition (and Hachette subsidiary Little, Brown the American edition) of I Am Malala Malala Yousafzai with Christina Lamb . Yousafzai is a female education activist, and the Nobel Peace Prize winner in 2014.[8] [9]
