Excerpt from The Complete Works of Thomas Nashe, Vol. 6 of 6: The Tragedie of Dido, 1594; Summers Last Will and Testament, 1600; Glossarial-Index, Etc
IN our ''memorial-introduction - Biographical'' (vol. I., pp. Xi - lxxi) we furnished the ''little all'' that has come down to us of the outward life of Thomas Nashe - its main landmarks, - as so frequently, - having been his books lesser and larger. I am under bond to add to the Biographical'' a Critical'' Introduction. I must fulfil my promise, albeit it was perchance too hastily given; for as one turns back upon the now completed Works, one feels that the Man is too shadowy and unrevealed, and the Writings too hasty and unsubstantive, for anything like elaborate criticism or estimate. And yet the very remarkable things in these hitherto scattered and forgotten books suggest a good deal as to the elizabethan-jacobean period, which will reward the student-reader if he take pains to master them. I propose, as brie?y as may be, to indicate certain points and to gather up others, leaving it to those who have a mind to follow along our lines, and mark out (it may be) as many more.
