Arthur Henry Bullen, born on February 9, 1857, was a notable English editor, publisher, and literary scholar renowned for his work on Elizabethan literature. He founded the Shakespeare Head Press in 1904, which became famous for its high-quality editions of classic literary works. Bullen's dedication to preserving and promoting early English drama significantly contributed to the revival of interest in Renaissance literature.
