"Elizabethan & Jacobean Pamphlets" by George Saintsbury is a collection of literary works, specifically pamphlets, compiled and edited in the late 19th century. The collection focuses on various pamphlets produced during the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods, showcasing the diversity of themes and styles that characterize the literature of that era. This includes pieces of fiction, social commentary, and literary criticism, aiming to highlight the rich cultural context of the time and its relevance to contemporary readers. The opening of the collection presents an introduction that contextualizes these pamphlets within their historical framework, arguing for their significance and interest. Saintsbury emphasizes that these works were among the earliest forms of print literature, comparable to modern journals and newspapers in their accessibility and variety of subjects. He notes that pamphlets covered a range of topics, including political issues, social critiques, and cultural reflections, and introduces notable authors whose works will be featured, such as Thomas Lodge, Robert Greene, and Thomas Nash, setting the stage for their explorations in subsequent chapters. The initial portion reveals the aim of the collection: to provide engaging insights into a largely overlooked but vibrant literary tradition. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
