초록
The purpose of this study is to investigate the writing strategy of Thomas Nashe, one of the first Elizabethan professional authors, and to define his own authorial identity within the literary culture of Early modern England. To do this, this study focuses on Pierce Penniless, a pamphlet written by Nashe who exploited a critical persona and tried to depict the precarious lives of the newly professionalized writers made possible by the development of the Elizabethan publishing industry and the growth of the reading public. In Pierce Penniless, where observation, self-display and social commentary are ingeniously balanced, Pierce bitterly complains of the world’s wickedness, and finally decides to make the devil his patron. Although Pierce writes cheerfully about his poverty, his social satire is witty and sarcastic enough to reveal the widespread materialism and the general neglect of the knowledge and scholars at the time. Nashe/Pierce’s appropriation of the fool’s license, together with his exaggerated delineation of specific social types and unconventional style allows him to be one of the wittiest and most astute critics of his age. Being situated between the declining patronage and the flourishing book market and printing industry, Nashe was aware of the ways in which print culture positions itself in relation to the conventions of manuscript world. However, he deliberately exploits his marginality to establish the authorial position in the changing literary environment. What makes Nash noteworthy is his stylistic self-consciousness, which does not conform to the traditional Elizabethan author-writer relationship and ultimately makes him the pioneer writer of the era.
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the writing strategy of Thomas Nashe, one of the first Elizabethan professional authors, and to define his own authorial identity within the literary culture of Early modern England. To do this, this study focuses on Pierce Penniless, a pamphlet written by Nashe who exploited a critical persona and tried to depict the precarious lives of the newly professionalized writers made possible by the development of the Elizabethan publishing industry and the growth of the reading public. In Pierce Penniless, where observation, self-display and social commentary are ingeniously balanced, Pierce bitterly complains of the world’s wickedness, and finally decides to make the devil his patron. Although Pierce writes cheerfully about his poverty, his social satire is witty and sarcastic enough to reveal the widespread materialism and the general neglect of the knowledge and scholars at the time. Nashe/Pierce’s appropriation of the fool’s license, together with his exaggerated delineation of specific social types and unconventional style allows him to be one of the wittiest and most astute critics of his age. Being situated between the declining patronage and the flourishing book market and printing industry, Nashe was aware of the ways in which print culture positions itself in relation to the conventions of manuscript world. However, he deliberately exploits his marginality to establish the authorial position in the changing literary environment. What makes Nash noteworthy is his stylistic self-consciousness, which does not conform to the traditional Elizabethan author-writer relationship and ultimately makes him the pioneer writer of the era.
