Fictions of Authorship in Late Elizabethan Narratives - Wilson, Katharine (, Research Associate, Department of English Studies, Oxford Brookes University.)

John Lyly, Robert Greene, and Thomas Lodge created the pulp fiction of the later sixteenth century. Their pamphlets combined sensational plots, adventurous heroines, and self-conscious narrators. This book examines how they dealt with the constraints of mass market authorship, and replaces their narratives at the heart of Elizabethan literature.
