The Four Seas Company was a bookstore and small-press publisher in Boston, Massachusetts.
[1] It is remembered today mostly for its publication of the early work of major modernist writers such as William Faulkner,[2] William Carlos Williams, Gertrude Stein,[3] and Yone Noguchi.
Four Seas was founded by the young Edmund R. Brown upon his graduation from Harvard College in 1910,[4] and its imprint first appears in 1911.
The last book published under the imprint was in 1930, the year the company was absorbed by Bruce Humphries, Inc.[4][5]
