John Bodenham

John Bodenham

John Bodenham (c. 1559 - 1610), anthologist, is stated to have been the editor of some of the Elizabethan anthologies, viz., "Politeuphuia" ("Wits' Commonwealth") (1597), "Wits' Theater" (1598), "Belvidere, or the Garden of the Muses" (1600), and "England's Helicon" (1600). Mr. Bullen says that Bodenham did not himself edit any of the Elizabethan miscellanies attributed to him by bibliographers: but that he projected their publication, and he befriended the editors.
