  Article 5
Munday was a Stationer himself, apprenticed to John Allde in 1576 for 8 years, alongside of Allde's son Edward Allde (later an important Shakespeare-related printer).
That switch earned Munday a post as "Messenger in Her Majesty's Chamber" and later he was Secretary to the Archbishop of Canterbury, when he was active in the "anti-Martinist" group that included Oxford's other servants in countering the Puritan "Martinist" pirate pamphlets.

Anthony Munday (or Monday) (1560?–August 10, 1633), was an English dramatist and miscellaneous writer.
Munday admits in his own account of Edmund Campion and his confederates, that he was "some time the Pope's scholar on the Seminary of Rome," but always denied that he was a Roman Catholic.
Munday was a very voluminous author in verse and prose, original and translated, and is certainly to be reckoned among the predecessors of Shakespeare in dramatic composition.

 Munday's: The Downfall and The Death: Introduction
Munday is the first to name him Earl of Huntington, as he spells it, or as the town and former county are now spelled, Huntingdon.
It is conceivable that Munday derived the name from the existence of such an earl in the time of King Richard: the well-informed historian John Stow was a friend of Munday's, and it seems likely that he might have had a hand in the ideas for the play, including this name (Knight, 1994, p.

It seems probable, though it is strange, that Shepherd Tony, the sweet singer of England’s Helicon, is no other than “the Grub Street patriarch,” the translator and playwright, Anthony Munday.
The evidence 5 rests mainly on the charming song, “Beauty sat bathing by a spring,” which occurs both in England’s Helicon and in Munday’s translation of Primaleon.
The notion that Shepherd Tony was a pseudonym of Anthony Copley was never tenable.

 Anthony Munday
Anthony Munday is known to have been employed in the writing of fourteen plays between 1597 and 1603, and he was probably a constant writer for the stage for many years before that date.
The Golden Fleece being the drapers' coat of arms, he twice made use of the voyage of the Argo: and when the Mayor happened to be a fishmonger, he treated the citizens to Chrysanaleia, or the Golden Fishing, to signify the close alliance between the Fishmongers and the Goldsmiths.
There is nothing in Munday's compositions above the tamest mediocrity, and he is worth mentioning only as a specimen of the literary journeyman of the time.

  Anthony Munday Biography | Dictionary of Literary Biography
His father, Christopher Munday (a stationer trained as a draper), and mother, Jane, died early, and in 1576 the orphaned Anthony was apprenticed to the stationer John Allde, working for him until the autumn of 1578 when his indentures were canceled on his own request to allow him to travel abroad.
Munday's translation (published in 1585), however, is a rather free adaptation of the play for the English stage of the day, with much of the prose turned to verse and the comic elements enhanced, and it should be regarded as a substantially original work.
Anthony Munday was not a dramatist of the first or even of the second rank.

  Munday - LoveToKnow 1911
In a Catholic tract entitled A True Reporte of the death of M. Campion (1581), Munday is accused of having deceived his master Allde, a charge which he refuted by publishing Allde's signed declaration to the contrary, and he is also said to have been hissed off the stage.
Munday also had a share with Michael Drayton, Robert Wilson and Richard Hathway in the First Part of the history of the life of Sir John Oldcastle (acted 1599), which was printed in 1600, with the name of William Shakespeare, which was speedily withdrawn, on the title page.
Munday's works usually appeared under his own name, but he sometimes used the pseudonym of "Lazarus Piot." A. Bullen identifies him with the "Shepherd Tony" who contributed "Beauty sat bathing by a spring" and six other lyrics to England's Helicon (ed.

 Looney's "Shakespeare" Identified
However these things may he, the fact is that, whether in the country or the metropolis, it appears to have been quite recognized that the Earl of Oxford had a hand in the composition of some of the plays that his company was staging, whilst others were substantially his own.
Some writers have inclined to the idea that Anthony Munday was "Shepherd Tony"; and in a modern [258] anthology one of the best of the poems of Shepherd Tony, "Beauty sat bathing by a spring," is ascribed to Anthony Munday: as if no doubt existed on the point.
A careful examination of the passages in these plays of Munday's, which "could not have been written by him," and containing passages which might have "rested in the mind of Shakespeare," would be necessary to make the present statement complete.

Whatever might have been Munday's previous life, in 1582 he was placed in an unenviable position.
At what date he acquired the title of "poet to the city" is not known; he had certainly been previously employed in a similar capacity, as Ben Jonson introduces him in that capacity in "The Case is Altered," which was written in 1598 or 1599.

 Romantic Comedies and Pastorals
Greene also wrote The Pleasant Comedie of Fair Em, the Miller's Daughter of Manchester; with the love of William the Conqueror, produced in 1589 and 1591.
According to Professor Brooke, this play is "an inartistic medley of two plots in the two most popular current styles." Anthony Munday also composed a piece somewhat in imitation of the Greene comedy called John a Kent and John a Cumber.
Munday was able to construct good plots, but was quite lacking in the ability to envelop his plays with the atmosphere of charm and romance which is so marked in the work of Greene and Shakespeare.

Anthony Monday lives with his family in the community of Hoosac, Minnesota and is the second young lead character created by John Bellairs.
Anthony is usually teamed up with elderly librarian Myra Eells in their adventures, which have ranged from treasure hunts in the local library to battling demonic forces in the upper Midwest area and even traveling to other worldly dimensions.
In choosing the character's name, Bellairs was either using his own middle name (Anthony) and the day he was born (Monday, January 17, 1938), or, knowing his penchant for obscure literary references, recalling the name of the Elizabethan author, poet and dramatist Anthony Munday (1553-1633).

Munday had one of the longest careers of any author of his generation and left a body of work larger and more varied than nearly all his contemporaries combined, but is regarded as a minor figure with no defined place in Renaissance literature and history.
Hamilton (English, U. of Maryland) investigates the disparity, and where possible opens up a slot in the dominant narratives about the period to find him a niche.
