Joseph Lewis French (1858Template:Ndash1936) was a novelist, editor, poet and newspaper man.[1] The New York Times noted in 1925 that he may be "the most industrious anthologist of his time."[2] He is known for his popular themed collections, and published more than twenty-five books between 1918 and his death in 1936.[3] He initiated two magazines, The New West (c. 1887) and The Wave (c. 1890).[3] Afterward he worked for newspapers "across the country" contributing poetry and articles.[3] He struggled financially, and during 1927 the New York Graphic, a daily tabloid, published an autobiographical article they convinced him to write, entitled "I'm StarvingTemplate:SndYet I'm in Who's Who as the Author of 27 Famous Books."[3]
