Philip Stubbs

Philip Stubbs

Philip Stubbs (Stubbes) (c. 1555 - c. 1610), English pamphleteer, was born about 1555.

He is reputed to have been a brother or near relation of John Stubbs. He was educated at Cambridge and subsequently at Oxford, but did not take a degree, spending the greater portion of his time travelling about the country.

He started writing about 1581, and in 1583 published "The Anatomie of Abuses". This consisted of a virulent attack on the manners, customs, amusements and fashions of the period, and is still valuable for its copious information on those matters. In 1591 Stubbs published "A Christal Glass for Christian Women", of which at least seven editions were called for, and he followed this with other semi-devotional works. He probably died about 1610.
