Delphi Complete Works of Thomas Nashe Illustrated - ebook
The Elizabethan playwright, poet and satirist, Thomas Nashe was the author of ‘The Unfortunate Traveller’, the first picaresque novel of English literature. His masterpiece was ‘Pierce Penniless, His Supplication to the Divell’, a prose satire that was among the most popular of the Elizabethan pamphlets. Employing a free and extemporaneous prose style, full of colloquialisms, neologisms and fantastic idiosyncrasies, Nashe entertains the reader with a story in which immediate entertainment is favoured over narrative structure. Complex, witty and colourfully anecdotal, Nashe’s work is as brash and bitingly sharp today as when it was first penned over four centuries ago. For the first time, this eBook presents Nashe’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material. (Version 1)
