Beschreibung:
Offering an entirely new interpretation of the economic context of 16th-century literature, this book challenges the tendency to explain Nashe's texts in journalistic and commercial terms. Hutson reveals a previously overlooked link between humanist approaches to the literary text and the social and ethical transformation of the English economy. She blames lack of literary activity in general on the political emphasis and value placed on the printed word, and demonstrates that Nashe's work was the result of an intricate, socially engaged imagination rather than an eccentric sensibility.
Part 1 The contexts: consuming resources - literature in economic context 1558-1592; the profitable discourse of the Elizabethans; publication - credit and profit; festivity and productivity; Nashe and popular festive pastime; Nashe's literary theory; Nashe, mock testament and Menippean dialogue. Part 2 The texts: wasting time in "Summers Last Will and Testament"; "Pierce Penilesse", the bankrupt's carnival; Gabriel Harvey and the politics of publication; credit for the page of "The Unfortunate Traveller"; patronage as the red herring of "Lenten Stuffe".
