Henry Reynolds (poet)

Henry Reynolds (poet)

Henry Reynolds (1564-1632) was a Suffolk man, schoolmaster, English poet and literary critic of the seventeenth century.

He is known for two works, "Aminta Englisht" of 1628, a translation from Tasso, and "Mythomystes", a 1632 critical work on poetry considered to be most influenced by the neo-Platonism of the early Italian Renaissance. He was the dedicatee of a 1627 poem by Michael Drayton. Otherwise there is sparse biographical information.
