Publisher's Synopsis
An Almond For A Parrot: Being A Reply To Martin Mar-Prelate is a book written by Thomas Nash in 1846. The book is a response to the controversial religious pamphlets written by Martin Mar-Prelate, which were published in the late 16th century. Nash's book is a satirical and humorous take on Mar-Prelate's writings, using witty language and clever wordplay to mock the author's arguments. The title of the book is a reference to a line from one of Mar-Prelate's pamphlets, in which he compares himself to a parrot who is given an almond (a reward) for repeating the words of his master. Throughout the book, Nash employs a range of literary devices, including allusions, puns, and metaphors, to both entertain and challenge his readers. He also uses his writing to express his own views on religion and politics, making An Almond For A Parrot a fascinating insight into the cultural and social climate of the time. Overall, An Almond For A Parrot is a witty and engaging work of satire that provides a unique perspective on a significant moment in English history.Reprinted From The Black Letter Edition, With An Introduction And Notes.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
