The Elizabethan University Wits

By: Sing, Patrick

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.

The book elaborates the term "University Wits," used to describe writers educated at the universities of Harvard and Cambridge. The group included John Lyly, George Peele, Robert Greene, Christopher Marlowe, Thomas Lodge, and Thomas Nashe, and together they transformed the face of Elizabethan drama. The book analyses the writing characteristics of this group and their prominent works.
