Summary
This work traces the rising star of prose in the era just before the novel began to dominate literary culture. Barbour explores the favorite tropes and terms deployed by Robert Greene, Thomas Nashe, and Thomas Dekker in their efforts to define, liberate, and question the boundaries and the very nature of prose.
