Joseph Lewis French (1858–1936) was a novelist, editor, poet, and newspaperman. The New York Times noted in 1925 that he may be "the most industrious anthologist of his time." He is known for his popular themed collections and published over twenty-five books between 1918 and his death in 1936. He founded two magazines, The New West (c. 1887) and The Wave (c. 1890).
