Description

Scholarly London publisher active from 1878.

William Swan Sonnenschein (5 May 1855–31 January 1931), also known as William Swan Stallybrass, was a British publisher and founder of the Swan Sonnenschein & Co. publishing company. […] The company specialised in publishing scholarly works that specialised in philosophy and the social sciences, including the renowned book series The Library of Philosophy (1890-1911).

Swan Sonnenschein became a limited liability company in 1895, with William leaving the firm in 1902 to work as senior managing director at George Routledge & Sons. He would later take up a further directorial position at Kegan Paul. Eventually Swan Sonnenschein became amalgamated with fellow publishing company George Allen & Co. in 1911, with the now-merged firm rebranding again as George Allen & Unwin Ltd by 1914.
