About Liveright:
Liveright Publishing Corporation grew out of the storied Boni &
Liveright press, one of the most important publishers of the early
20th century. Under the guidance of Horace Liveright, the firm
captured the flowering literature of the 1920s and 1930s, publishing
some of the most celebrated American writers of the period and seeking
out works which would stand the test of time. As a result, many
writers that the house signed up became foundational forces of modern
literature and culture.
