Arthur Henry Bullen

Arthur Henry Bullen, often known as A. H. Bullen (9 February 1857, London – 29 February 1920, Stratford-on-Avon), was an English editor and publisher, a specialist in 16th- and 17th-century literature, founder of the Shakespeare Head Press, which for its first decades was a publisher of fine editions in the tradition of the Kelmscott Press, and poet.

A. H. Bullen's interest in Elizabethan dramatists and poets started at the City of London School, before he went to Worcester College, Oxford, to study classics.

His publishing career began with a scholarly edition of the Works of John Day in 1881 and continued with series of The English Dramatists (London: John C. Nimmo, 1885–88)[2] and a four-volume set of A Collection of Old English Plays (London: Privately printed by Wyman & Sons, 1882–89),[3] some of which he had discovered in manuscript and published for the first time.

Bullen wrote more than 150 articles for the Dictionary of National Biography, lectured on Elizabethan dramatists at Oxford University and taught at Toynbee Hall.

Bullen was admired by literary figures like Swinburne and was well known in his time for his enthusiastic scholarship and for rediscovering forgotten works of literature, most notably those of Thomas Campion.
