About us
The University of Tennessee Press was established as a scholarly publisher in 1940 by the university trustees. Its mandate was threefold: to stimulate scholarly research in many fields; to channel such studies to a large readership; and to extend the university’s regional leadership by publishing worthy projects about the South, including those by non-university authors. The press has earned a national reputation for excellence with its lists in African American studies, Southern history, Appalachian studies, material culture, and literary studies, as well as many regional books written for general readers. Several outstanding series have further strengthened the press, including the presidential papers of Andrew Jackson, Andrew Johnson, and James K. Polk. Books in the Outdoor Tennessee Series range from hiking guides to studies of environmental problems. In 1994, the press launched the Voices of the Civil War, a series that brings into print the memoirs, journals, and letters of men and women, North and South, who endured America’s costliest conflict. Other series include Sport and Popular Culture and Studies in Vernacular Architecture, and the newly launched Legacies of War and The Western Theater in the Civil War. The press continually strives to meet its traditional commitments to scholarly research, to its diverse readers, and to its place within the larger mission of the university. It remains committed to excellence in scholarly and regional publishing.

Out now in hardcover! In "To Contest with All the Powers of Darkness: New England Baptists, Religious Liberty, and New Political Landscapes, 1740–1833," Jacob E. Hicks teases out the social and political contexts that transformed “rustic” young men like John Leland not only into volunteers for Christ—as wide-roving preachers in the mold of George Whitefield—but also into influential opinion leaders, media entrepreneurs, networkers, and lobbyists in the contentious First Party era of the Early Republic. This movement drove a significant first wedge in the church-state fusion of the Early Republic and, simultaneously, left memorable lessons in successful collective action for a New England Baptist community on the verge of an institutional explosion on the western frontier. Available on our site and wherever fine books are sold.
