Duckworth encourages curiosity in our world through accessible and stimulating works of biography and memoir, popular science, psychology, and history. We also have a passion for compelling, impeccably researched historical fiction. Founded by the family of Virginia Woolf in 1898, we have published incredible authors including D.H. Lawrence, Hilaire Belloc, Evelyn Waugh, Beryl Bainbridge and Oliver Sacks. This great tradition continues with our award-winning authors Ray Kurzweil, Victoria Glendinning, Julia Child, Thomas E. Ricks and John Spurling, to name but a few.
