BOLTON (or BOULTON), EDMUND (1S75?-1633?)

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 180 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BLA-BOS
BOLTON (or BOULTON), EDMUND (1S75?-1633?) , English historian and poet, was born by his own account in 1575. He was brought up a Roman Catholic, and was educated at Trinity
Hall
 ,
Cambridge
 , afterwards residing in London at the Inner Temple. In 1600 he contributed to England's Helicon. He was a retainer of the duke of Buckingham, and through his influence he secured a small place at the court of James I. Bolton formulated a
scheme
  for the
establishment
  of an English academy, but the project fell through after the death of the king, who had regarded it favourably. He wrote a Life of King
Henry
  II. for Speed's Chronicle, but his Catholic sympathies betrayed themselves in his treatment of Thomas Becket, and a life by Dr John Barcham was substituted (
Wood
 , Ath. Oxon. ed. Bliss, iii. 36). The most important of his numerous works are Hypercritica (1618?), a short
critical
  treatise valuable for its notices of contemporary authors, reprinted in Joseph Haslewood's Ancient
Critical
  Essays (vol. ii., 1815); Nero Caesar, or Monarchie Depraved (1624), with
special
  note of British affairs. Bolton was still living in 1633, but the date of his death is unknown.
