The Prig and the Pornographer: the Literary Quarrels of Gabriel Harvey (original) (raw)

This paper examines the literary quarrels of Gabriel Harvey, focusing on his exchanges with other writers, including Edmund Spenser and Thomas Nashe. It discusses how these conflicts influenced literary and academic circles in the late 16th century, particularly through their incorporation into works by Shakespeare. The analysis also highlights Harvey's role as a significant, yet often overlooked, figure in Elizabethan literature and the implications of his marginal notes for understanding 16th-century reading practices.
