The first fully annotated, modern-spelling edition of Lyly's Pap
with an Hatchet, this volume in the Revels Plays Companion Library
series opens a window on the most neglected item in the Lylian
canon. A response to a series of late sixteenth-century
anti-episcopalian pamphlets issued under the pseudonym 'Martin
Marprelate', Pap with an Hatchet seeks to beat Martin at his own
game, employing all the devices deployed in the tracts to deride
and subvert the Martinist position. Written in a racy, colloquial
style, and at variance in its format with twenty-first century
printing conventions, the pamphlet has remained difficult to access
for the modern reader, and it is this barrier to a fuller
understanding that the present edition has been designed to
overcome. Re-edited from the earliest witnesses, brought into line
with contemporary printing practice, richly annotated, and equipped
with a substantial introduction, it enables a new insight into the
witty interaction between the work and the Martinist tracts, the
care underlying its composition, and the relish that Lyly brought
to his task. -- .
