Along the way, Jack finds himself embroiled in a series of intrigues, romances, and betrayals, as he navigates the treacherous political landscape of Renaissance Europe. Through Jack's eyes, Nashe offers a satirical commentary on the social, political, and religious mores of his time. The novel is filled with witty dialogue, irreverent humor, and sharp observations about human nature, as Nashe skewers the hypocrisy and folly of the society in which he lived.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This early work by Thomas Nashe was originally published in 1600 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Summer's Last Will and Testament' is an Elizabethan era stage play that broke new ground in the development of English Renaissance drama. Thomas Nashe was born in November 1567. He was an English Elizabethan Pamphleteer, playwright, poet and satirist, but little is known with certainty about his life. Much of the information we have has been inferred from his writings. Nashe's first appearance in print was his preface to Robert Greene's Menaphon (1589), in which he offers a brief definition of art and an overview of contemporary literature. His early exercise in euphuism The Anatomy of Absurdity was published in the same year. From then on Nashe became involved in numerous political and religious causes, including the Martin Marprelate controversy where he sided with the bishops. Nashe offers an important insight into the workings of 16th century English life and his writings will continue to be studied for both their literary content and historical relevance.
