Henry Reynolds (poet)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Henry Reynolds was an English poet and literary critic of the seventeenth century.
He is known for two works, Aminta Englisht of 1628, a translation from Tasso, and Mythomystes, a 1632 critical work on poetry considered to be most influenced by the neo-Platonism of the early Italian Renaissance. He was the dedicatee of a 1627 poem by Michael Drayton. Otherwise there is sparse biographical information.
