Henry Buxton Forman fu un bibliografo e un antiquario dell'epoca vittoriana, la cui reputazione letteraria si basa sulle sue bibliografie di poeti significativi. Tuttavia, il suo nome è inestricabilmente legato allo smascheramento di una cospirazione di falsificazione su larga scala di prime edizioni. Queste rivelazioni hanno gettato un'ombra sulle sue precedenti attività accademiche e hanno complicato la sua posizione nella storia letteraria. Il lavoro di Forman serve così come un ammonimento sulla fragilità del mercato letterario e sull'importanza della provenienza.
