Biographical History
John Murray was an important and successful British publisher. He was among the first publishers to form connections with authors, notably Byron, and traveled in literary circles. A consummate businessman, he was often guided by his Tory principles; he founded the Quarterly Review in part to give voice to his political views.
British publisher.
John Samuel Murray, English publisher.
John Murray II (1778-1843), was the second proprietor of John Murray publishing house. It had been founded by his father in 1768. Under his leadership, such authors as Walter Scott, Jane Austen, John Wilson Croker, Leigh Hunt, Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Madame de Stael, Thomas Moore, Sir John Franklin (the explorer), Washington Irving, Isaac Disraeli, and Thomas Robert Malthus were published by the Murray publishing house. He also published the first cookbook for domestic cookery rather than institutional cookery. It is Murray's association with George Gordon, Lord Bryon, for which he is primarily remembered as a publisher. Murray published Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, which was very successful, and other of Byron's works. As of this writing (Fall 2001), the John Murray publishing house is still publishing and still has its offices at 50 Albemarle Street, London.
Scottish publisher John Murray, son of publisher John Murray, directed the family's publishing house to unprecedented success. Aided by keen insight and a courageous vision, he published Byron, Jane Austen, Walter Scott, Robert Southey, and many others. In collaboration with John Constable, he co-owned the Edinburgh Review, and, along with George Canning, founded the rival Quarterly Review. His house was the center of British literary society. He was among the friends of Byron who decided to burn his manuscript journals to protect the poet's reputation after his death.
English publisher.
