Abstract
AbstractThis article revisits the authorship of and relationship between three mock‐prognostications published pseudonymously in 1591, drawing on contextual, bibliographical, and stylistical analysis to attribute Two Dangerous Comets and A Wonderful Prognostication to Thomas Nashe. The article also considers the significance of these findings for studies of Nashe, satire, and Elizabethan print culture.
