Elizabethan Pamphleteers eBook

This title offers the first comprehensive study of the sudden appearance and rise to popularity of the moralistic prose pamphlet. Its interest lies not just in the pamphlet''s subject matter but also in the literary techniques developed by its authors to appeal to a newly literate and growing audience. Clark shows what knowledge of the pamphleteers'' choice and presentation of their topical material can contribute to our understanding of Elizabethan thought and society.
