This is an alphabetical list of authors who published at Minerva Press, or with William Lane before he coined the name, between the founding of the press in 1790 and 1820 or so when Lane's successor, A. K. Newman, dropped "Minerva" from the company title.
Minerva Press was a publishing house notable for creating a lucrative market in sentimental and Gothic fiction in the late 18th and early 19th centuries.
It was established in or about 1790 when William Lane (c. 1745–1814) moved his circulating library to No 33 Leadenhall Street, London.
[1] Minerva Press has been, and continues to be, a subject of considerable interest for scholars of print and popular cultures, women's writing, and the Romantic period.
[2] There is also a market for modern reissues of novels from Minerva and other Gothic authors: Valancourt Books has reissued a number of Minerva titles and Broadview Press has produced several scholarly editions of early Gothic novels.
