Short answers, pulled from the story.
The Hogarth Press was founded in 1917 by Leonard Woolf and Virginia Woolf. They named it after Hogarth House, their home in Richmond, Surrey, where they set up a handpress in their dining room and began printing books as a hobby.
Leonard and Virginia Woolf bought their handpress in 1917 for nineteen pounds, equivalent to roughly 1,295 pounds in 2018. They taught themselves to use it and published their first book, Two Stories, in July 1917.
The Hogarth Press published the first UK book edition of T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land in 1923, Virginia Woolf's novels Jacob's Room, Orlando, The Waves, and A Room of One's Own, and The Standard Edition of the Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud between 1956 and 1974. It also published Henry Green, E. M. Forster, Ahmed Ali, and Jacques Lacan's first published Seminar.
The Hogarth Press published 527 titles between 1917 and 1946. Output grew from a single title in 1917 to a peak of forty-two titles in 1927, before settling into a range of around twenty to thirty titles per year through the 1930s.
After Virginia Woolf relinquished her interest in 1938, Leonard Woolf ran the press as a partnership with John Lehmann until 1946, when it became an associate company of Chatto and Windus. In 2011 it was relaunched as a contemporary fiction imprint under Random House.
The Hogarth Shakespeare Project is a series of modern retellings of Shakespeare plays commissioned by Hogarth Press beginning in 2015. Authors include Jeanette Winterson, Margaret Atwood, Anne Tyler, Howard Jacobson, Tracy Chevalier, Edward St Aubyn, and Jo Nesbo, whose Macbeth appeared in 2018.
