What is Routledge?
'''Routledge''' is a [[British]] [[publisher]]. It has changed names and owners many times since it was first formed by [[George Routledge]] ([[1812]]–[[1888]]) in [[1836]]. The firm continued to grow until [[1902]] when it almost became [[bankrupt]]. However, it managed to recover after [[refinancing]] and began to buy up and [[Mergers and acquisitions|merge]] with other publishing companies. From [[1912]] onwards, it increasingly focuses on academic publishing. It soon became well known for its books in [[humanities]] and [[social sciences]]. Taylor & Francis bought Routledge in [[1998]]. [[Category:Publishing companies of the United Kingdom]] {{UK-stub}} {{authority control}}
