Description

Thomas Dekker (c.1572-1632) was a prolific playwright and pamphleteer renowned for vivid, witty portrayals of everyday London life. This scholarly work examines Dekker's prose pamphlets published between 1613 and 1628, offering crucial insight into a relatively neglected period of pamphleteering history. During the reign of James I, after the aggressive Elizabethan exploitation of new media, pamphleteers established a discursive space where claims about truth and authority could be deconstructed. Moving beyond the dangerous polemic tactics of the Marprelate pamphleteers, writers like Dekker employed playful, innovative approaches to engage readers and shape public discourse. This book explores how early 17th-century pamphleteering functioned as a distinct literary and historical phenomenon, revealing how writers navigated censorship, authority, and the possibilities of print culture to communicate ideas about London society and early modern life.
