Harry Buxton Forman Book order (chronological)
Henry Buxton Forman was a bibliographer and antiquarian bookseller of the Victorian era, whose literary reputation is built upon his bibliographies of significant poets. However, his name is inextricably linked to the exposure of a large-scale forgery conspiracy involving first editions. These revelations cast a shadow over his earlier scholarly endeavors and complicated his standing in literary history. Forman's work thus serves as a cautionary tale about the fragility of the literary market and the importance of provenance.
