About MUP

Who are we?

With an international reputation in scholarly publishing, MUP has delivered decades of bold publishing bringing transformative ideas and original voices to a global audience. We launched MUP trade books in 2020 taking our agenda setting and provocative books to the general reader.

Our philosophy

Written for the general reader

Trustworthy

Topical and relevant

Media coverage and reviews

Written by expert authors and rigorous thinkers, our books nurture powerful narratives, immersive histories, and intimate biographies. Accessible, but in-depth we pay attention to narrative, tone and voice ensuring our trade books are compelling to the general reader.

All our books are peer-reviewed at various stages by experts in the field, so you can trust that the content is original and factually correct. 

Our carefully curated list embraces a range of subjects, from hidden histories to urgent reportage, economics to complex social issues, to cutting edge politics and international affairs that make our readers think differently about the world.

Our trade titles are regularly and positively reviewed across media outlets including Financial Times, TLS, Irish Literary Supplement, Glamour Magazine and feature on numerous ‘best books’ lists.
