Constable & Robinson Ltd. is a British book publisher. It serves as an imprint of Little, Brown, publishing fiction and non-fiction books and ebooks.
Constable & Co. was founded in 1795 in Edinburgh, Scotland by Archibald Constable, and became the publisher of works by Sir Walter Scott. In 1827, following the death of his father, Thomas Constable took over the company. In 1860, Thomas Constable sold the publishing part of his business to Edmonston & Douglas, while continuing the printing activities of his firm. In 1861, the company employed 50 compositors for printing work. In 1865, Thomas' son Archibald joined the firm as a partner and the firm began publishing as T. & A. Constable Ltd.
In 1897, Constable released the well-known horror novel, Bram Stoker's The Un-Dead, albeit with a last-minute title change to Dracula.
In 1813, the company was the first publishing company to give an author advance against royalties. [citation needed]
In 1821, it introduced the standard three-volume novel, and in 1826, with the launch of the book series Constable's Miscellany, it became the first publisher to produce mass-market literary editions. [citation needed]
Over the decades; Constable has published books by notable British authors such as Sir Walter Scott, Henry James, Bram Stoker, George Bernard Shaw, Elizabeth Bowen and B. S. Johnson.
By 1921, Constable was the first publishing house to advertising books on the London Underground. [citation needed]
Ralph Arnold joined the firm in 1936, rising to chairman between 1958 and 1961. In his memoir Orange Street and Brickhole Lane (1963) he described the firm as having "a strangely endearing persona".
