Thomas Nashe/Nash (1567-c. 1601) was an English Elizabethan pamphleteer, poet and satirist.

The remaining decade of his life was dominated by two concerns: finding an adequate patron and participating in controversies, most famously with Gabriel and Richard Harvey. He arrived in London with his one exercise in euphuism, The Anatomy of Absurdity (1589). His first appearance in print was, however, his preface to Robert Greene's Menaphon.…mehr

Produktbeschreibung
Thomas Nashe/Nash (1567-c. 1601) was an English Elizabethan pamphleteer, poet and satirist. He went up to St John's College, Cambridge as a sizar, gaining his bachelor's degree in 1586, then moved to London and started his literary career in earnest. The remaining decade of his life was dominated by two concerns: finding an adequate patron and participating in controversies, most famously with Gabriel and Richard Harvey. He arrived in London with his one exercise in euphuism, The Anatomy of Absurdity (1589). His first appearance in print was, however, his preface to Robert Greene's Menaphon. In the early 1590s he produced a pornographic poem, The Choice of Valentines, possibly for the private circle of Lord Strange. After Harvey mocked Greene's death in Four Letters, Nashe wrote Strange Newes of the Intercepting Certaine Letters (1593). Nashe attempted to apologize in the preface to Christ's Tears Over Jerusalem (1593), but the appearance of Pierce's Supererogation shortly after offended Nashe anew. He replied with Have With You to Saffron-Walden (1596). In 1597, following the suppression of The Isle of Dogs (co-written with Ben Jonson), Jonson was jailed, but Nashe was able to escape to the country.

Autorenporträt
Thomas Nash was an English playwright, poet, satirist, and pamphleteer, best known for his novel The Unfortunate Traveller and his satirical pamphlets. Born in November 1567 in Lowestoft, he became a prominent figure in the Elizabethan literary scene, known for his sharp wit and bold commentary on society. Nashe was educated at St. John's College, Cambridge, where he developed his literary skills. He was a prolific writer during the late 16th century, producing works that ranged from comedic plays to biting satirical pamphlets, often defending the Church of England. His most famous work, The Unfortunate Traveller, is recognized as an early example of the picaresque novel, capturing the misadventures of a young man during the reign of Henry VIII. Nashe s writing is often filled with humor, social critique, and sharp observations of human nature. Despite his early death in 1601 at the age of 34, his contributions to English literature, particularly in the realm of satirical and comedic writing, have remained influential. His works continue to be studied for their historical and literary significance.
