Biographical History
Henrietta Maria [Harriet] Bowdler, English writer and literary editor. She is best known for her Family Shakespeare, a collection of Shakespeare's plays with scenes and references cut out that she found morally offensive. Her brother Thomas was credited with The Family Shakespeare for many years, and it was their surname that inspired the coinage of the verb "bowdlerize.".
Henrietta Bowdler was an English author and poet. She was born into a literary family, and published numerous religious poems, essays, and even sermons. She and her brother Thomas published the famous Family Shakespeare, purging from the text words and expressions they felt were unfit to be read aloud in a family setting--thus coining the expression, to Bowdlerize.
