Shouldn't it be mentioned somewhere that he is the most likely person to have coined the phrase "coin the phrase"? Wasakithis 06:08, 3 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My additions

I have begun to update this page in the hopes of accomplishing three goals: 1) to more successfully screen the disagreements and uncertainty over the authorship of The Arte of English Poesie, 2) to more accurately reflect the historical context in which the surviving documents that mention Puttenham's tendencies and character appear, 3) to expand coverage of Puttenham's significance both as a writer and a historical figure in sixteenth century England. By all means, please review and correct any errors in my presentation that you may find.
