  Thomas Nashe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
If Nashe be the author of the late anti-Marprelate pamphlet An Almond for a Parrat (1590), attributed on the title-page to one 'Cutbert Curry-knave', he humorously claims to have met Harlequin while returning from a trip to Venice in the summer of 1589.
In London Nashe became acquainted with Robert Greene, and their friendship drew him into a long literary contest with Gabriel Harvey, to which Nash owes much of his reputation.
Nashe replied on behalf of his dead companion, and reiterated the charge which he claimed had given the original offence to Harvey, viz., that he was the son of a ropemaker.

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.

The next great realist, Thomas Nashe, was another of those university wits who lived hard, wrote fiercely, and died young.
Like his friend Greene, Nashe was responsible, in the first place, for certain pamphlets dealing with the social life of London; but he does not confine himself, as was the case with Greene, to the outcast and the pariah, nor, on the other hand, does he find much attraction in the steady-going citizen.
He pillories, among others, the travelled Englishman “who would be humorous forsooth, and have a broode of fashions by himselfe”; the brainless politician who thought “to be counted rare … by beeing solitarie”; and those inventors of religious sects who were a confusion to their age.

 Thomas Nashe - Penguin Group (USA) Authors - Penguin Group (USA)
Thomas Nashe was born in Lowestoft in 1567, the son of a minister, and in 1573 the family moved to West Harling, near Thetford.
Nashe was strongly anti-Puritan and this together with his natural combativeness drew him into the Marlprelate controversy: An Almond for a Parrot (1590) is now widely accepted as his along with a number of pseudonymous pamphlets.
Nashe was also part-author (along with Ben Jonson among others) of The Isle of Dogs, which was judged by the authorites to be seditious and thus Nashe was forced to flee from London.

 Thomas Nashe Nash Elizabethan writer: Biography
When Nashe was a child of six his father became minister of a country village, West Harling in Norfolk, and the family moved there.
Though Nashe usually had no trouble finding a publisher he was always hard up - partly due to a love of drinking, smoking and probably casual sex.
In his own day Nashe was never entirely respectable but he was certainly respected, at least by the younger end of the intelligent reading public.

 Thomas Nashe Chronology
Nashe is not present; he has probably left plague-ridden London for the country home of Archbishop Whitgift, for whom he briefly works.
January 12 Nashe's reply to Harvey, Strange Newes is registered in London, described in the entry as 'The Apologie of Pierce Pennylesse', wording in the title-page of editions published later in 1593.
Nashe publishes nothing in 1595; in his next publication (HWYTSW, 1596) he refers to friends accusing him of having been "idle and new-fangled, beginning many things but soon weary of them ere he be half-entred," but claims his silence has been caused by the distractions of hack work and the need to earn a living.

 Works of Thomas Nashe, Elizabethan author
Nashe's only surviving play, it was never meant for the public stage, only for private entertainment in a great household.
Nashe had left Harvey with the latest word in their feud by failing to answer 'Pierce's Supererrogation'; with this pamphlet he avenged himself completely.
Nashe briefly took refuge there in the autumn of 1597 after his involvement in part-writing the lost play 'The Isle of Dogs' (with Ben Jonson) almost led to his arrest.

 A New Source for Thomas Nashe's The Choise of Valentines
The best books on Nashe mention the poem only in passing.[3] Through 1992, the MLA Bibliography lists only one article devoted solely to it.[4] This is an unfortunate gap in traditional scholarship devoted to imitation and the classical tradition in the Renaissance.
Nashe's fertile mind was particularly assimilative, a mind from which a strange flower such as the Choise could well have bloomed.
Nashe saves his narrator's derision for the end, who bewails the usurpation of "Poore Priapus" for the aforementioned "cursed" marital aid (247-95).

 Richard Lichfield's attack on Thomas Nashe
Nashe himself picked the fight by prefacing his worst assault on Harvey yet, Have With You To Saffron-Walden, with a sarcastically-respectful epistle dedicated to "olde Dick of Lichfield", and choosing him as patron for this, the most abusive (and funny) anti-Harvey pamphlet he ever produced.
Nashe's biographer Charles Nicholl feels the epistle has a curiously ambivalent tone, half-serious and half-sly, and speculates that Nashe was hoping Lichfield would join him in his Harvey-bashing, - but if he didn't, and turned out to be on Harvey's side, that didn't matter either.
Nashe was an artist, and seldom let the truth stand in the way of a humorous effect.

 HARVEY - LoveToKnow Article on HARVEY   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Thomas Nashe, who in power of invective and merciless wit was far superior to Harvey, took upon himself to avenge Greenes memory, and at the same time settle his personal account with the Harveys, in Strange Newes (1593).
In Christes Teares over Jerusalem (1593) Nashe made a full apology to Harvey, who refused to be appeased, and resumed what had become a very scurrilous controversy in a New Letter of Notable Contents (1593).
Nashe thereupon withdrew his apology in a new edition (i5~) of Christes Tearcs, and hearing that Harvey had boasted of victory he produced the most biting satire of the series in Have with you to Saffron Walden (1596).

On the contrary, merely in recognizing that Nashe's "bent was for journalism" (p.
Nashe was a brilliant prose stylist, instantly recognizable: a 'swelling and boystrous' voice, a 'certayne nimble and climbinge reach of Invention'.
Nashe has recently been championed as the pioneer of 'Elizabethan grotesque', and this too, with its blend of obsessive physical detail and wild metaphoric excess, seems to spring from an imagination momentarily unhinged, jolted into over-reaction.

Born in Lowestoft, England, the son of a minister, Nashe graduated from Cambridge, made a tour of France and Italy, and by 1588 was establishing himself in London as a professional writer.

Nashe also wrote several plays and a picaresque prose narrative, The Unfortunate Traveler (1594), that inaugurated the novel of adventure in English literature.

 The Unfortunate Traveller and Other Works - Thomas Nashe - Penguin Group (USA)
Thomas Nashe, a contemporary of Shakespeare, was writing in the 1590s, the zenith of the English Renaissance.
In its mingling of the devout and bawdy, scholarship and slang, its brutality and its constant awareness of the imminence of death, his work epitomizes the ambivalence of the Elizabethans.
Above all, Nashe was a great entertainer, 'his stories are told for pleasure in telling, his jokes are cracked for the fun of them, and his whole style speaks of a relish for living'.

 McLuhan Studies Premiere Issue: The War Within the Word: McLuhan's History of the Trivium
What the present study tries to do directly for Nashe, it does indirectly for his contemporaries; so that if Nashe appears to be a kind of appendix to a chapter in the history of education, he is really intended to be a focal point.
McLuhan structures the Nashe thesis in four chapters: The Trivium until St. Augustine, The Trivium from St. Augustine to Abelard, The Trivium from Abelard to Erasmus, Thomas Nashe.
The Nashe thesis, for the enormity of research and absorption it demanded, was doubtless an expansive and profoundly liberating experience for the young McLuhan.

 An Althusserian Reading on Thomas Nashe's The Unfortunate Traveller
His theory of ideology is useful in reading Nashe’s book, first, because the challenges to the established hierarchical order and degree of the hero, Jack, can be seen not as the reflection of a unitary world view, but as parts of a heterogeneous social process, and second, because Nashe’s response to the process is ideological.
Nashe's ideological responses to contemporary authority and epistemology and his ideological discourses are presented in the first part.
The breakdown of the social order and ideals leads to linguistic instability, which means that Nashe's language calls social stability and a well-ordered world into question.

 The "University Wits"
As a dramatist, Nashe is remembered for one odd satirical pastoral-cum-masque, Summer's Last Will and Testament, written for performance by child actors and designed to be acted in the Great Hall of a nobleman's house.
Nashe also wrote one scandalous play that has disappeared: The Isle of Dogs, written in collaboration with the young Ben Jonson, ended up with Jonson in jail for "seditious and slanderous" language.
Nashe's love of political satire, very much in evidence in his pamphlets, seems to have gone too far in this case.
