Pantheon was founded in 1942 by Kurt Wolff and his wife, Helen, and acquired by Random House in 1961. Today, Pantheon is a part of the Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group at Penguin Random House and continues its mission of publishing world-class literature and works in translation. With a commitment to inventive yet rigorous nonfiction as well as literary fiction that breaks form, Pantheon has a tradition of publishing diverse voices and ideas. Its authors include Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, LeVar Burton, Anton Chekov, Noam Chomsky, Mark Z. Danielewski, Helen Garner, James Gleick, Tony Horwitz, Margo Jefferson, Ha Jin, Laila Lalami, Ali Smith, Wole Soyinka, Heather Ann Thompson, and Charles Yu.

Its authors include Charles Burns, Sammy Harkham, Ben Katchor, Richard McGuire, Deena Mohamed, Ben Passmore, Kristen Radtke, Gengoroh Tagame, and Craig Thompson.
