ABSTRACT
Gabriel Harvey (1545-1630) migrated from Christ's College to Pembroke a year after Spenser's admission there as a sizar (1569). He was probably most generally known to his contemporaries in the context of the controversy with Nashe, but to us as the friend and intimate of Spenser. He has been identified, I think improbably, with E.K. For an account of his relations with Spenser see Mary Parmenter, 'Colin Clout and Hobbinoll: A Reconsideration of the Relationship of Edmund Spenser and Gabriel Harvey', Johns Hopkins University Ph.D. Dissertation, 1933. In view of his close association with Spenser, I have been less selective of his remarks than is in general my rule. See also No. 132.
