Thomas Thorpe
Thomas Thorpe ( 1569 – 1625) was an English publisher, most famous for publishing
Shakespeare's sonnets and several works by
Christopher Marlowe and
Ben Jonson. His publication of the sonnets has long been controversial. Nineteenth-century critics thought that he might have published the poems without Shakespeare's consent;
Sidney Lee called him "predatory and irresponsible." Conversely, modern scholars Wells and Taylor assert their verdict that "Thorpe was a reputable publisher, and there is nothing intrinsically irregular about his publication."
