T&T Clarkis a Britishpublishingfirm which was founded inEdinburgh,Scotland,in 1821and which now exists as an imprint ofBloomsbury Publishing.

History

The firm was founded in 1821 byThomas Clark,then aged 22 and who had aFree Church of Scotlandbackground. The company was originally concerned with law and foreign literature and published under the name of "Thomas Clark".

He was joined in a partnership in 1846 by his nephew, also named Thomas Clark.With the arrival of younger Thomas Clark (1823-1900) the firm began issuing works under the name of "T. & T. Clark".

In the 1830s, it began to develop atheologylist, taking a progressiveevangelicalstance and at times, publishing books that were not likely to make a profit. It published work by scholars in both Europe and North America.Its most substantial projects were the English translation of theAnte-Nicene Fathers(which the firm titledAnte-Nicene Christian Library) and theEncyclopaedia of Religion and Ethics.These were only viable because of the existence of a large American market; however, in the 1880s the firm got into a dispute with theFleming H. Revell Company,over the American firm's copyright violation of some of T&T Clark's titles. TheAnte-Nicene Librarywas bootlegged by theChristian Literature Publishing Company,based inNew York City,New York.However, this did not prevent T&T Clark from doing business with them.

In 1965, the company began to publishConcilium,anacademic journalofRoman Catholictheology.

In 2003, the three religious academic imprints ofSheffield Academic Press,Trinity Press Internationaland T&T Clark were all acquired by theContinuum International Publishing Group,which itself was acquired byBloomsbury Publishingin 2011.
