ABSTRACT

Thomas Nashe's Quarrel with Gabriel Harvey was a long-running affair, and its true aims are hard to discern. It was conducted through a series of prose pamphlets. Nashe's side of the Quarrel was adumbrated in Strange Newes, 1

and presented extensively in Have With You to Saffron Walden. The latter is addressed to a 'Richard Lichfield', about whose identity there is reason to be suspicious. Richard Lichfield answers in his own pamphlet, The Trimming of Thomas Nashe, the authorship of which has never been settled.2
