| | §22. Thomas Nashe: popular form of his work. VI. The Plays of the University Wits. Vol. 5. The Drama to 1642, Part ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07) |
 | | Thomas Nashe, though younger than Lodge, turned aside, like Peele, from his real bent into drama, but not, like Peele, to remain in it and to do a large amount of work. |
 | | When the play bred trouble, and Nashe, as author, was lodged in the Fleet for a time, he maintained that he was not really responsible for the contents of the play. |
 | | Nashe is far enough from Greene, who, whatever his ideas gained from the university and from foreign travel, could so mould and adjust them as to be one of the most successful of popular dramatists. |
