	Literary Encyclopedia: Robert Dodsley
		Robert Dodsley (1704-64), poet, playwright, prose writer and publisher, is one of the twenty-first century’s most unduly neglected, eighteenth-century, English, literary figures.
		During that quarter of a century, Robert Dodsley selected and acted as the initial publisher for nearly all the key mid-eighteenth-century writers, including Dr Johnson, Mark Akenside, Edward Young, Joseph Warton, Edmund Burke, Thomas Gray and many others considered noteworthy at the time, but less well known today.
		Pope was an early friend and patron, helping to set Dodsley up as a bookseller in 1735, just as he, in turn, filled a similar encouraging role for Dr Johnson, the Great Cham of a later period, in the 1740’s and 50’s.

	Benedict: Making the Modern Reader - Chapter Four: READING SYSTEMS IN THE MID-EIGHTEENTH CENTURY
		[¶11.] Robert Dodsley (1703-1764), an innovative and ambitious publisher in the style of Tonson and Lintot, issued several ambitious series, like the Select Collection of Old Plays (1744), which ran to twelve volumes, but it is his Collection of Poems that most influentially used the anthology to define contemporary taste.
		Testimony suggests that, like Tonson, Dodsley had trouble finding contributions to finish his series despite anchoring it with famous names, since the series was conceived as an authoritative collection of contemporary verse even before the material for it had been gathered.
		Whereas Dodsley used the by now traditional procedure of booksellers by compiling his Collection of Poems as an ongoing project that advertised the distinctive quality of his "stable" of writers, and thus his own literary judgment, Colman and Thornton, already proven critics, completed their history of female writing as a single, authoritative venture.
