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
(1567-c.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.
