In July 2011, it was taken over by Bloomsbury Publishing.[1], all new Continuum titles are published under the Bloomsbury name (under the imprint Bloomsbury Academic).[2]

History

Continuum International was created in 1999 with the merger of the Cassell academic and religious lists (including Geoffrey Chapman, Mansell, Mowbray, Pinter, and Leicester University Press imprints) and the Continuum Publishing Company, founded in New York in 1980.[3] [4]

The academic publishing programme was focused on the humanities, especially the fields of philosophy, film and music, literature, education, linguistics, theology, and biblical studies. Continuum published Paulo Freire's seminal Pedagogy of the Oppressed and music criticism series 33⅓.

Continuum acquired Athlone Press, which was founded in 1948 as the University of London publishing house and sold to the Bemrose Corporation in 1979.[5]

In 2003, Continuum acquired the London-based Hambledon & London[6] (Sunday Times Small Publisher of the Year 2001–02),[7] a publisher of trade history for the general reader.
