The Making of Deloney as a Novelist. I. The known facts about Deloney slife )are so scanty and his ventures in prose and verse have been examined so little as yet that the course of his literary development lies in open view only here and there. For the connections one has to resort to conjecture. In doing so, to be sure, there is little or no conflicting evidence to deal with, at least not so far as the limited scope of the present enquiry is concerned. The glimpse Thomas Nash gives of Deloney about four years before his death presents him as a silk-weaver by calling and more reprehensible still a prolific maker of ballads. Retribution has been meted out to him, however. His looms are silent, and the carded ale to which the deare yeare of 1596 has reduced him inspires merry ditties no longer.) 1) See article Deloney, Diet. Nat. Biogr., and the bibliographical references there given. 2) .. .even as Thomas Deloney, the balletting Silke-weaver, hath rime inongh for all myracles, and wit to make a Garland of goodwill more than the premisses, with an Epistle of Momus and Zoylus; whereas his Muse, from the first peeping foorth, hath stood at Livery at an A le-house wispe, never exceeding a penny a quart, day nor night; and this deare yeare, together with the silencing of his loombes, scarce that; he being strained to betake him to carded A le: whence it proceedeth that since Candjemas, or his Jigge of John for the king, not one merrie Dittie wi Ucome from him but The Thunder-bolt against Swearers, Repent England, repent, and The strange judgements of God .H ave with you to Saffron Walden, ed.

Pr�sentation de l'�diteur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
