Subject Areas

Princeton University Press selects for publication only scholarship of the highest
quality on all levels regardless of commercial viability: specialized monographs making
an original contribution to knowledge within a subdiscipline; titles appealing to a
broader range of scholars and professionals in a single discipline; interdisciplinary
academic works intended for readers in more than one subject area; and works by
scholars aimed at bringing the findings of a discipline to the larger, well-educated
reading public. Some titles from all these categories are also eventually used in the
classroom as supplemental course reading. We also publish texts specifically intended
for student use at the graduate and undergraduate level.
