Continuum International Publishing Group was an academic publisher of books with editorial offices in London and New York City. It was purchased by Nova Capital Management in 2005. In July 2011, it was taken over by Bloomsbury Publishing.[1] From September 2012, all new Continuum titles were published under the Bloomsbury name (under the imprint Bloomsbury Academic).[2]
History
Continuum International was created in 1999 with the merger of the Cassell academic and religious lists (including Geoffrey Chapman, Mansell, Mowbray, Pinter, and Leicester University Press imprints) and the Continuum Publishing Company, founded in New York in 1980.[3][4]
In 2003, Continuum acquired the London-based Hambledon & London[6] (Sunday Times Small Publisher of the Year 2001–02),[7] a publisher of trade history for the general reader.
