The Augustan Reprint Society was founded in 1945 by Edward Niles Hooker and H. T. Swedenberg, Jr.[1] of UCLA and Richard Charles Boys of the University of Michigan.[2] The Society specialized in publishing reprints of English literature from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, with individual titles ranging from the very well-known (e.g. Grey's Elegy) to manuscripts whose existences were theretofore unknown.[2] The Society's publications were issued by the William Andrews Clark Library. As of its twentieth anniversary in 1966, the Society had issued 127 reprints. Each of the volumes was a photographic facsimile of a significant work, accompanied by a scholarly introduction.[3]
AMS Pressedit
In 1990, production and distribution of the Society's publications was transferred from the Clark Library to the AMS Press,[3] which specializes in scholarly monograph and annual publications.[4] An editorial board composed of members of the UCLA faculty continued to select and edit items for the series.[3]
