Hodder & Stoughton book

Hodder & Stoughton is a historic British publishing house that has been a fixture in the literary world since the 19th century. Originally founded as a partnership focused on religious and evangelical titles, the brand significantly expanded its scope over the decades to include mainstream fiction, non-fiction, and educational materials.

Today, the brand operates as a major imprint within the Hachette UK group, which is itself a subsidiary of the French multinational Hachette Livre. While specific physical manufacturing (printing) can vary based on regional distribution requirements and paper sourcing, the primary corporate and editorial operations remain centered in the United Kingdom. Ownership by Hachette Livre places it within one of the largest publishing conglomerates globally, headquartered in France.
