WRIGHT (WILLIAM), senior, bookseller in London, 1591-1603; (1) In the Poultry, the middle shop in the row, adjoining to St. Mildred's Church, 1579-90; (2) In St. Paul's Churchyard, near the French School. Son of Matthew Wright of London, carpenter. Apprentice to Anne Hester { HESTER, Anne ‹ LBT 03157 › } for ten years from August 24th, 1564 [Arber, i. 251]. William Wright made his first book entry in the Registers on July 22nd, 1579 [Arber, ii. 357]. He dealt largely in ballads, broadsides, news books and ephemeral literature. He was one of those who violently opposed the monopolies, and was imprisoned in the Counter for his share in issuing privileged books. He subsequently made his submission and with Edward White { WHITE, Edward ( - 1612) ‹ LBT 08008 › }, John Wolf { WOLFE, John ‹ LBT 07327 › }and others was nominated one of the assigns of the patent belonging to Richard Day { DAY, Richard (1552 - ) ‹ LBT 07331 › } [Arber, ii. 790-3]. One of William Wright's apprentices was Cuthbert Burby { BURBY, Cuthbert ( - 1607) ‹ LBT 08823 › }, who at his death in 1607 bequeathed to William Wright, "which was my master," the sum of eight pounds [Plomer, Wills, p. 41].
