John Lyly, Robert Greene, and Thomas Lodge created the pulp fiction of the later sixteenth century. Their pamphlets combined sensational plots, adventurous heroines, and self-conscious narrators. This book examines how they dealt with the constraints of mass market authorship, and replaces their narratives at the heart of Elizabethan literature.
