Harvard University Press (HUP) is a publishing house established on January 13, 1913,

as a division of Harvard University, and focused on academic publishing.[1] In 2005, it

published 220 new titles. It is a member of the Association of American University Presses.
Its current director is William P. Sisler and the editor-in-chief is Susan Wallace Boehmer.
The press maintains offices in Cambridge, Massachusetts, near Harvard Square, in New
York City, and in London, England.
Notable authors published by HUP include Eudora Welty, Walter Benjamin, E. O.
Wilson, John Rawls, Emily Dickinson, Stephen Jay Gould, Helen Vendler, Carol
Gilligan, Amartya Sen, David Blight, Martha Nussbaum, and Thomas Piketty.
The Display Room in Harvard Square, dedicated to selling HUP publications, closed on
June 17, 2009.[2] HUP has lent its name to the Harvard comma, because its house manual
of style favors its use.[citation needed]
