In addition to publishing works of scholarship, the Press produces books of more general interest for a wider readership.Ĭemetery of the Murdered Daughters: Feminism, History, and Ingeborg BachmannĪlthough Austrian writer Ingeborg Bachmann (1926–1973) is widely regarded as one of the most important twentieth-century authors writing in German, her novels and stories have sometimes been viewed narrowly as portraits of women as victims. In recent years, the Press has focused primarily on books in the field of American studies broadly defined-books that explore the history, politics, literature, culture, and environment of the United States-as well as works with a transnational perspective. Series editors also assist in this process.
The committee bases each of its decisions on the recommendations of the Press director and editors and on the written reports of at least two scholars in the field. New titles are approved by the committee after a rigorous process of peer review. The Press imprint is overseen by a faculty committee, whose members represent a broad spectrum of University departments. In so doing, it supports and enhances the University's role as a major research institution. Its mission is to publish first-rate books, edit them carefully, design them well, and market them vigorously.
Founded in 1963, the University of Massachusetts Press is the book-publishing arm of the University of Massachusetts.
