Bruccoli Clark Layman produces reference works in literary and social history. The company was founded in 1962 by Matthew J. Bruccoli, an author and professor of English, and C. E. Frazer Clark, Jr., a marketing executive, to publish limited editions of literary works. In 1975, Frederick Ruffner, president of Gale Research, Inc., invited Prof. Bruccoli and Mr. Clark to develop a series of reference books in literary biography. The next year Bruccoli Clark, Inc., was incorporated and commenced production of the Dictionary of Literary Biography. Richard Layman was the first employee.
