Hide Profile

Enitharmon Press was founded in 1967 by Alan Clodd as an independent press able to focus on the quality of its books and maintaining a "wide-ranging literary culture outside the realm of agents, public relations and television tie-ins". The name of the press comes from the poetry of William Blake; Enitharmon was a character who represented spiritual beauty and poetic inspiration. In 1987, Clodd passed the directorship of the press to Stephen Stuart-Smith. Stuart-Smith expanded the press's focus beyond primarily poetry into translations, memoirs, fiction and literary criticism. In 2001, he also established Enitharmon Editions as a specialist publisher of artists’ books.
