About this book
This book, first published in 1964, is devoted to Thomas Nashe. Shakespeare's plays have many apparent echoes of his matter and style; he was one of the most adventurous and successful of those who tried to explore the possibilities of the language and to embellish it was an eloquence both learned and popular. Moreover, he is a conscientious and delighted portrayer of the London of his time; he combines the interests of a Mayhew with the exuberance of a Dylan Thomas. This book will be of interest to students of literature.

Glossarial Notes and Index
For full annotation, the reader must be referred to McKerrov’s edition. The notes given below are of necessity brief and highly selective. They are confined on the whole to words and allusions that might puzzle a reader. Passages in Latin and other foreign languages are translated here only when Nashe himself has not provided a translation or rough paraphrase. Only the first occurrence of each word in a given sense is indexed. An asterisk indicates that Nashe’s usage is earlier than the first recorded in the New English Dictionary; an obelus (†) indicates that Nashe is the first writer cited in the New English Dictionary.
