BiographyHistory

A former director at Jonathan Cape, Rupert Hart-Davis formed his own publishing house in 1946, in partnership with David Garnett. The firm published well-produced general non-fiction, and some poetry and academic titles. In 1956 the company was bought by Heinemann, in 1962 by Harcourt, Brace and World, and in 1963 by the Granada Group, where it formed part of the Hart-Davis, MacGibbon Limited publishing division. In 1983 the Hart-Davis imprint was bought by William Collins and became part of Grafton Books.
