Leonard and Virginia Woolf established the Hogarth Press in 1917 in their home at Richmond, England. The Woolfs determined the press's output based on their own personal interests and tastes, and the press published many writers who were then relatively unknown, including Katherine Mansfield, T.S. Eliot, E.M. Forster, John Maynard Keynes, and Virginia Woolf herself. From 1917-1919 the Woolfs printed books by hand, but the press became a commercial enterprise in 1919 when the publishing program expanded to include books too long to print on their small hand press. In this period, one of the most notable publications of the press were the first English translations of books by Sigmund Freud. Hogarth Press books were also noted for the artwork on their covers, which was seen as modernist and unconventional.

Leonard and Virginia Woolf continued to own and oversee the press until Virginia relinquished her share as partner in the business in 1938. The press continued to operate privately until 1946, when a share was sold to the British publishing company Chatto & Windus. Information about the press is available from several print sources; click here for a list. Click here for a list of materials published by the Hogarth Press prior to 1946.
