Robert Greene, contemporary of Shakespeare and Marlowe and member
of the group of six known as the "University Wits," is the subject
of this essay collection, the first to be dedicated solely to his
work. Although in his short lifetime Greene published some three
dozen prose works, composed at least five plays, and was one of the
period's most recognized-even notorious-literary figures, his place
within the canon of Renaissance writers has been marginal at best.
Writing Robert Greene offers a reappraisal of Greene's career and
of his contribution to Elizabethan culture. Rather than drawing
lines between Greene's work for the pamphlet market and for the
professional theatres, the essays in the volume imagine his writing
on a continuum. Some essays trace the ways in which Greene's poetry
and prose navigate differing cultural economies. Others consider
how the full spectrum of his writing contributes to an emergent
professional discourse about popular print and theatrical culture.
The volume includes an annotated bibliography of recent scholarship
on Greene and three valuable appendices (presenting apocrypha;
edition information; and editions organized by year of
publication).
