  NYPL, Farrar, Straus&Giroux, Inc. Records, 1899-1992
Farrar, of Farrar and Rinehart, left that firm in 1944 after returning from overseas duty in the Office of War Information.
Straus, in addition to a background in journalism and magazine editing, also had the necessary financial resources to launch a publishing house.
Giroux's first editing experience, while a student at Columbia University, was for The Columbia Review in which he published such future FSG authors as John Berryman and Thomas Merton.

 Farrar, Straus and Giroux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Known primarily as Farrar, Straus in its first decade of existance, the company was renamed when it hired Robert Giroux from rival Harcourt, Brace, who brought with him such prolific writers as T.S. Eliot and Flannery O'Connor.
Straus continued to run the company for twenty years after his partner Farrar passed away until 1994, when he retired and sold a majority interest of the company to the privately owned German publishing conglomerate Georg von Holtzbrinck Publishing Group.
Nevertheless, FSG is considered one of the last of the old-fashioned literary publishers and is widely celebrated for its renowned lines of literary fiction, narrative nonfiction, poetry, and children's literature.
