Lawrence & Wishart.

Lawrence & Wishart is an independent British publishing company that was founded in 1936 through the merger of Martin Lawrence, the Communist Party's press, and Wishart Ltd., a family-owned liberal and anti-fascist publisher. During the late 1930s, the press was involved in the political and cultural life of the Popular Front, and published literature, drama, and poetry, as well as political economy, working-class history and the classics of Marxism.

Ernest Edward Wishart established the publishing house Wishart & Company in the late 1920s. The company published Scrutinies by Various Writers, edited by Edgell Rickford (the first volume appeared in 1928, and the second volume followed in 1931); Sligo (1930) by Jack Butler Yeats; Negro Anthology (1934) edited by Nancy Cunard; and Jews Without Jehovah (1934) by Gerald Kersh.
