Synopsis
'Andrew Hadfield's remarkable new book deftly displays the edgy wit and verbal inventiveness with which Nashe gives voice to his provocative understanding of the interrelated social, commercial, and religious worlds that defined the unsettling modernity of his England.' - David Scott Kastan, Yale University
This book provides an overview of the life and work of the scandalous Renaissance writer Thomas Nashe (1567-c. 1600), perhaps the only English author whose work led to the closure of theatres and the widespread banning of printed books. Nashe was famous for writing the scurrilous novel The Unfortunate Traveller (1594), but as Andrew Hadfield shows, there was much more to his career than this brilliant work. Nashe played a vital role in establishing English Renaissance theatre, collaborating with Ben Jonson, Christopher Marlowe and William Shakespeare. He was involved in religious controversies; wrote pornographic poetry; reflected on the terrifying impact of the plague on London; and wrote intricate sentences that saw him celebrated as one of the finest prose stylists of the age.

Thomas Nashe and Late Elizabethan Writing (Hardcover)
Seller: Grand Eagle Retail, Fairfield, OH, U.S.A.
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. A critical biography of one of the most celebrated prose stylists in early modern English.This book provides an overview of the life and work of the scandalous Renaissance writer Thomas Nashe (1567c.1600), whose writings led to the closure of theaters and widespread book bans. Famous for his scurrilous novel, The Unfortunate Traveller (1594), Nashe also played a central role in early English theater, collaborating with Ben Jonson, Christopher Marlowe, and William Shakespeare. Through religious controversies, pornographic poetry, and the bubonic plague, Andrew Hadfield traces the uproarious history of this celebrated English writer. 'Thomas Nashe was a bright, fierce light in Elizabethan literature, whose work was banned by the church authorities. From secretly circulated pornography to the herrings of East Anglia, and from Puritan propaganda to the first English novel, Nashe is always productive and provocative. Andrew Hadfield's lucid new life opens up these funny, savage, deeply topical works for a new readership, emphasizing their range, verve, and specificity. Hadfield's skill is in contextualizing without overshadowing the literary brio of the writing, and in recovering the Nashe whom all his contemporaries - including Shakespeare - wanted to emulate.' - Emma Smith, Hertford College, Oxford (UK) An overview of the life and work of the scandalous Renaissance writer Thomas Nashe.
