The University of Pennsylvania Press (Penn Press) has signed a contract granting De Gruyter global distribution rights to its electronic products. This transatlantic partnership will expand the international reach of Penn Press while also strengthening De Gruyter's portfolio with a range of premier academic publications.
Penn Press publishes in a focused editorial programme across the humanities and social sciences, with especially strong lists in American and European history and literature and in multidisciplinary areas such as human rights, urban studies, medieval studies and religious studies, where it enjoys a preeminent standing.
Penn Press's lists in ancient studies and early modern studies are growing, and it has developed a distinguished presence in the field of landscape architecture. Each year, Penn Press releases more than 100 new titles. These new releases will be offered at De Gruyter Online, along with a backlist of some 1,000 eBooks.
