Sinopse
Características

This early work by Thomas Nashe was originally published in 1593 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. Christs Tears Over Jerusalem is a work that defends his past works, but also defends Christianity against the detractors of his time. 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. Nashes first appearance in print was his preface to Robert Greenes 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.
