Synopsis
Excerpt from The Gentle Craft
Apart from The Overthrow of Proud Holofernes and from the doubtful Patient Grissel exotics as thoroughly domesticated as the stories of Arthur only one of the ballads that have been preserved, namely Alphonso and Ganselo, is foreign as to subject matter and scene. Indeed, viewed in the large, Deloney's poems disclose the native English note everywhere. His mind and art alike justify the term homemade a fact, which, as we shall see presently, goes far to explain the origin and character of his three novels.

The Gentle Craft (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers an accessible scholarly introduction to Thomas Deloney, a well-known Elizabethan prose writer and the author of three popular prose works in the late sixteenth century. His most famous work, 'The Gentle Craft', is a collection of prose narratives mainly concerned with the lives of members of London's shoemakers guild, and was clearly intended to celebrate the craft. The book is significant in its day for its realistic fictional elements, which were considered innovative for the time. It also signaled a shift in the focus of literature from courtly and aristocratic concerns toward the lives and interests of ordinary people.
