Chapman & Hall is animprint owned byCRC Press, originally founded as aBritishpublishing house in London in the first half of the 19th century byEdward Chapman andWilliam Hall. Chapman & Hall were publishers forCharles Dickens (from 1840 until 1844 and again from 1858 until 1870),Thomas Carlyle,William Thackeray,Elizabeth Barrett Browning,Anthony Trollope,Eadweard Muybridge andEvelyn Waugh, and his brotherAlec Waugh.

Upon Hall's death in 1847, Chapman's cousinFrederic Chapman began his progress through the ranks of the company and eventually becoming a partner in 1858 and sole proprietor on Edward Chapman's retirement from Chapman & Hall in 1866. In 1868 authorAnthony Trollope bought a third of the company for his son, Henry Merivale Trollope. From 1902 to 1930 the company's managing director wasArthur Waugh. In the 1930s the company merged withMethuen, a merger which, in 1955, participated in forming theAssociated Book Publishers. The latter was acquired byThe Thomson Corporation in 1987.

Chapman & Hall was sold again in 1998 as part of Thomson Scientific and Professional toWolters Kluwer, who sold on its well-regarded mathematics and statistics list toCRC Press. Today the name of Chapman & Hall/CRC is used as animprint for science and technology books byTaylor and Francis, part of theInforma group since 2004.

Most notably, the company were publishers forCharles Dickens (from 1840 until 1844 and again from 1858 until 1870),Thomas Carlyle,William Thackeray,Elizabeth Barrett Browning,Anthony Trollope,Eadweard Muybridge andEvelyn Waugh. They continued to publish previously unpublished Dickens material well into the 20th century. Another popular author on the books in the 1880s wasHenry Hawley Smart.

The firm kept an office at 186Strand and later at 193Piccadilly,^[1] as well as 11 Henrietta Street inCovent Garden.
