When brothers Daniel and Alexander Macmillan founded their publishing company in 1843, they created a place that would recognise and value great contemporary writing. They soon made their mark on the literary world, publishing a range of works by extraordinary authors: Lewis Carroll, Alfred Lord Tennyson, Thomas Hardy and Rudyard Kipling to name but a few

As the company grew, so did the two brothers’ belief in the importance of learning. They launched the scientific research journal Nature, followed by the Palgrave imprint, promoting education and academic scholarship around the world. When former British Prime Minister Harold Macmillan became Chairman in the middle of the twentieth century, he decided education should be a key focus area for the organisation. With his vision, the company established itself as a world-leading educational publisher with an outstanding reputation.

 175 years later, we are building on the Macmillan brothers’ commitment to learning and innovation and celebrating the progress that has been made in education globally thanks to their vision. Their love of learning, reading and education is as relevant today as it was in the 19th century and we are proud to be continuing their work as we lead the way in pioneering and forward-thinking solutions for teachers and students across the world.
