Broadview Press
Broadview Press is an independent academic publisher that focuses on the humanities. Founded in 1985 by Don LePan, the company now employs over 30 people, has over 800 titles in print, and publishes approximately 35 titles each year. Broadview's offices are located across Canada in Calgary, Peterborough, Nanaimo, Guelph and Wolfville.
In its early years, Broadview operated out of LePan's home in Peterborough, Ontario, publishing a small number of titles for both Trade and academic markets. With the publication of books such as The Broadview Anthology of Poetry, The Broadview Reader, and the first few titles in the Broadview Editions series in the early 1990s, Broadview began to focus exclusively on the academic market.
In May 2008, Broadview's social science and history lists were sold to the University of Toronto Press. Michael Harrison (Broadview Vice-president 1992–2004, and President 2005–2008) and several staff members went on to form the Higher Education division at that press. Broadview refocused on the core disciplines of English Studies and Philosophy, and LePan returned to the role of President and CEO. In 2013, Leslie Dema was appointed president and became responsible for most aspects of the company's operations (with LePan remaining CEO but increasingly focused on a limited number of anthology projects). Dema led the company through a period of unprecedented technological change, and through the upheaval of the pandemic of the early 2020s. She resigned in 2023 to pursue a career in university administration; Stephen Latta, who had served for many years as Broadview's Philosophy Editor, was appointed president in July 2023, with Marjorie Mather appointed Vice President (Editorial and Production) and Christine Handley appointed Vice President (Sales and Distribution).
Broadview Press Ltd., the corporate predecessor of today's Broadview Press Inc., was incorporated September 25, 1985; the company is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2025.
Broadview publishes anthologies, scholarly editions of literary texts and philosophical classics, works of criticism, and other academic books.
The publisher is perhaps best known for its publications in English Literature (see below), but it has also published notable titles in a number of other areas. A particular area of strength is undergraduate philosophy course texts; notable titles include Andrew Bailey's First Philosophy: Fundamental Problems and Readings in Philosophy, William Hughes, Jonathan Lavery & Katheryn Doran's Critical Thinking, and The Broadview Anthology of Social and Political Thought. The Broadview philosophy list also includes many titles intended both for an academic and for a general readership; notable examples include Robert Martin's There Are Two Errors in the the Title of This Book, Bernard Suits' The Grasshopper: Games, Life and Utopia, Brian Orend's The Morality of War, and Wendy Lynne Lee's Contemporary Feminist Theory and Activism.
While primarily active in English Studies and Philosophy, Broadview has also published in other Humanities and Social Sciences disciplines, among them History and Political Science.
The following academics are counted among the many highly respected authors on the Broadview list: Srivinas Aravamudan, Richard D. Altick, Janet Beer, Linda Bree, Allen Carlson, Thomas J. Collins, Brian Corman, Jeffrey N. Cox, Barbara C. Ewell, Kate Flint, Michael Gamer, Janet Giltrow, Thomas Hurka, Will Kymlicka, Elizabeth Langland, Roy Liuzza, Isobel Grundy, Gary Kelly, Christopher Looby, Jerome J. McGann, A.P. Martinich, Anne K. Mellor, Koritha Mitchell, Anne Lake Prescott, John Richetti, Tilottama Rajan, Peter Sabor, Geoffery Sill, Derrick Spires, Marjorie Stone, John Sutherland (author), Daniel Vickers, Germaine Warkentin, and Susan Wolfson.
