, W. W. Norton & Company has been independent since its founding in
1923, when William Warder Norton and Mary D. Herter Norton first
published lectures delivered at the People’s Institute, the adult education
division of New York City’s Cooper Union. The firm soon expanded its
program beyond the Institute, publishing books by celebrated academics
from America and abroad. By midcentury, the two major pillars of
Norton’s publishing program—trade books and college texts—were firmly
established. In the 1950s, the Norton family transferred control of the
company to its employees, and today—with a staff of five hundred and
hundreds of trade, college, and professional titles published each
year—W. W. Norton & Company stands as the largest and oldest
publishing house owned wholly by its employees.
