Henry Buxton Forman war ein Bibliograf und Antiquar aus dem viktorianischen Zeitalter, dessen literarischer Ruf auf seinen Bibliografien bedeutender Dichter beruht. Sein Name ist jedoch untrennbar mit der Aufdeckung einer groß angelegten Fälschung von Erstausgaben verbunden. Diese Enthüllungen warfen einen Schatten auf seine früheren wissenschaftlichen Bemühungen und erschwerten seine Stellung in der Literaturgeschichte. Formans Werk dient somit als warnendes Beispiel für die Fragilität des Buchmarktes und die Bedeutung der Provenienz.
