Publisher's Synopsis

Gabriel Harvey: Four Letters and Certain Sonnets, Especially Touching Robert Greene and Other Parties by Him Abused 1592 is a collection of letters and sonnets written by Gabriel Harvey, a prominent scholar and writer in Elizabethan England. The book was originally published in 1592 and is a response to the attacks made against Harvey by Robert Greene, a fellow writer and contemporary of Harvey's.The book includes four letters written by Harvey, in which he defends himself against Greene's accusations of plagiarism and criticizes Greene's own writing. The letters also offer insights into the literary and social circles of the time, as Harvey discusses his relationships with other writers and intellectuals.The sonnets included in the book are directed at various individuals, including Greene, and offer further commentary on literary rivalries and personal relationships. The sonnets are notable for their use of complex language and imagery, and for their insights into the intellectual and emotional lives of the Elizabethan literati.Overall, Gabriel Harvey: Four Letters and Certain Sonnets is a fascinating glimpse into the literary and social world of Elizabethan England, as well as a testament to the talents and passions of one of its most prominent figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
