About Grove Press:

Grove Press is a prominent American publishing company known for its role in challenging censorship laws and publishing groundbreaking works. Founded in 1947 by Barney Rosset, Grove Press became a significant force in American literature during the mid-20th century. Rosset was a champion of controversial and avant-garde literature, and Grove Press gained notoriety for publishing works by authors like Henry Miller, Samuel Beckett, and William S. Burroughs.

One of Grove Press’s landmark legal battles was the publication of Miller’s “Tropic of Cancer,” challenging obscenity laws in the 1960s. The Supreme Court’s decision in favor of Grove Press marked a crucial moment for First Amendment rights.

Grove Press continued to be a key player in the countercultural literary scene, publishing works that pushed societal boundaries. The company’s impact on American literature and its commitment to free expression have left a lasting legacy.
