Pickering & Chatto is an imprint of Routledge which publishes in the humanities and social sciences, specializing in monographs, critical editions (works, diaries, correspondence) and thematic source collections.
[2][3][4][5] Pickering & Chatto is regarded as "the pre-eminent publisher of critical editions in the humanities and social sciences".
[6][7] The origins of the company can be traced back to William Pickering (1796–1854), who set up as an antiquarian bookseller and publisher in 1820.
[9][10] By the early twentieth century Pickering & Chatto was solely concerned with antiquarian book selling.
[17] Pickering & Chatto (Publishers) Limited was based in Bloomsbury[18] until March 2015, when it was acquired by the Taylor & Francis Group and became an imprint of Routledge.
