John Bodenham (c. 1559 – 1610), anthologist, was the patron of some of the Elizabethan poetry anthologies.
Life
He was the son of William Bodnam and Katherine Wanton. He was educated at Merchant Taylors' School.[1]
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.[2]
