The Martin Marprelate tracts were circulated illegally in 1588 and 89. The seven anonymous tracts, inveighing against the episcopacy of the Anglican church, have an historical and literary significance. Little has been written on John Lyly's Pap with an Hatchet, however, and in Leah Scragg's edition, based on the first edition of 1589, his response is given appropriate regard. The text is a short one, but the density of topical allusion and the colloquialism of the language necessitates considerable annotation and commentary. A large proportion of this edition is devoted to a lengthy introduction exploring the literary and cultural contexts of the work, Lyly's stance towards the project, and the light cast by the pamphlet on the depth of the writer's engagement with the contemporary theatre. The edition will contribute to the growing understanding of both the diversity of Lyly's work, and its centrality to a range of interconnected literary and social issues.
