While Robert Greene was the most prolific and perhaps the most
notorious professional writer in Elizabethan England, he continues
to be best known for his 1592 quip comparing Shakespeare to "an
upstart crow." In his short twelve-year career, Greene wrote dozens
of popular pamphlets in a variety of genres and numerous
professional plays. At his premature death in 1592, he was a
bonafide London celebrity, simultaneously maligned as Grub-Street
profligate and celebrated as literary prodigy. The present volume
constitutes the first collection of Greene's reception both in the
early modern period and in our present era, offering in its poems,
prose passages, essays, and chapters that which is most singular
among what has been written about Greene and his work. It also
includes a complete list of Greene's contemporary reception until
1640. Kirk Melnikoff's wide-ranging and revisionist introduction
organizes this reception generically while at the same time
situating it in the context of recent critical methodologies.
