Given a rivalry with Cambridge that dates back to the thirteenth century, perhaps it’s no wonder Oxford also claims its University Press is the oldest in the world, citing origins dating back to 1478; presumably the year the first printing presses were set up (though the actual entity of a “university press” apparently came later).

OUP also claims to be the world’s largest university press with the widest global presence.

The New York outpost of OUP was established in 1896 and, in the 1920s, began publishing its list. Notably, its first original publication won the 1926 Pulitzer Prize.

Today, Oxford University Press claims a total of fifteen Pulitzer Prize-winning titles and publishes such acclaimed authors as historian Alan Brinkley, ethnologist Richard Dawkins, journalist and speechwriter William Safire, literary critic and educator Henry Louis Gates, Jr., and environmentalist Rachel Carson.

Their notable authors include poet and writer John Milton (1608 – 1674), physicist and mathematician Sir Isaac Newton (1642 -1727), philosopher Bertrand Russell (1872 – 1970), linguist and philosopher Noam Chomsky, and theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking.
