Bucknell University Press (BUP) was founded in 1968 as part of a consortium operated by Associated University Presses and is currently partnered with Rowman & Littlefield. Since then it has published more than 1,000 titles in the humanities and social and biological sciences. The first title was published in 1969.
Run by its director and editorial board, the Bucknell Press is an editorially independent organization. The editorial operations of the Press are supported and funded by the office of the Provost at Bucknell University. The current Press Director is Greg Clingham, John P. Crozer Professor of English at Bucknell University.
The Press receives hundreds of proposals and inquiries a year and considers for publication about 70 manuscripts from authors all over the world. It publishes an average of 35 books per year.
Traditionally the Press's strengths have been in English and American literature, French literature, German literature, Hispanic Studies, philosophy, and religion, though its work is highly interdisciplinary, including scholarship in cultural studies and other sub-disciplines in the humanities.
The Press maintains headquarters in Taylor Hall on the Bucknell University campus in Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.
In July 2010, the Press joined with Rowman & Littlefield Publishing Group, an independent and international publisher of academic, trade, and popular books. Rowman & Littlefield are largely responsible for the production and worldwide distribution of books, and for issuing contracts for accepted manuscripts.
Guidelines for manuscript submissions can be found on their website.
From 1954 until 2004, the Press published the Bucknell Review , a biannual scholarly journal of letters, arts and sciences, which ceased publication after 47 volumes. The Bucknell Review was published in hardback and paper cover and included work from some of the leading scholars in the humanities of the time. It was under the long editorship of Harry Garvin that the journal came to prominence. Bucknell Review evolved out of Bucknell University Studies (1949–1954). It was succeeded by Aperçus: Histories Texts Cultures in 2004.
