Why Is Robert Dodsley Influential?

According to Wikipedia, Robert Dodsley was an English bookseller, publisher, poet, playwright, and miscellaneous writer. Life Dodsley was born near Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, where his father was master of the free school. He is said to have been apprenticed to a stocking-weaver in Mansfield, from whom he ran away, going into service as a footman. Profits and fame from his early literary works enabled Dodsley to establish himself with the help of his friends as a bookseller at the sign of Tully's Head in Pall Mall, London, in 1735.
