Product Description

Product Description

Written in the late sixteenth century, at the pinnacle of the English Renaissance, the rich and ingenious works of Thomas Nashe uniquely reveal the ambivant nature of the Elizabethan era. Mingling the devout and the bawdy, scholarship and slang, they express throughout an irrepressible, inexhaustible wit and an astonishing command of language. This collection of Nashe’s finest works includes The Unfortunate Traveller, the sharp and grotesque tale of Jack Wilton, an Englishman travelling through Europe; Pierce Penniless, a biting satire on the society of his age; Terrors of the Night; Lenten Stuff; the sensual poem The Choice of Valentines; and extracts from Christ’s Tears over Jerusalem and other works. Wide-ranging in subject, all capture the unique voice and fantastic ingenuity of one of the most entertaining Elizabethan writers - a man regarded by his contemporaries as the ‘English Juvenal’.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my favourite authors, 2 Sep 2008
By Ms. N. Brown - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Most people will only ever read Thomas Nashe as part of a college or university course, and even then it will most likely be a brief mention. However he is well worth paying extra attention to. One of the bad boys of English Literature, Nashe fled London after a disasterous play written with Ben Jonson, for which he would have probably been imprisoned. The play unfortunately hasn't survived, however this book collects together the rest of his most important works, including plays, poetry and prose. It includes the wonderful Lenten Stuffe, which was written in praise of Great Yarmouth, where he went after leaving London, and mostly involves fish.

Well worth getting past his sometimes unconventional writing style for.
