Cuthbert Burby : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cuthbert Burby Cuthbert Burby (died 1607) was a London bookseller and publisher of the Elizabethan and early Jacobean eras. He is remembered for publishing a series of significant volumes of English Renaissance drama, including works by William Shakespeare, Robert Greene, John Lyly, and Thomas Nashe. ==Beginnings== Burby ("sometimes confused with Cuthbert Burbage,"〔Halliday, p. 77. John Payne Collier thought the two were one and the same.〕 though there is no known connection between the two men) was the son of Edmund Burby, a farmer in Erlsey, Bedfordshire. Cuthbert Burby was apprenticed to the stationer William Wright for eight years as of Christmas 1584, and became a "freeman" (full member) of the Stationers Company on 13 January 1592. He did business in London between 1592 and 1607. As his title pages attest, his shops were located 1) "under Saint Mildred's Church in the Poultry," 2) "at the Royal Exchange," and 3) "in Paul's Churchyard at the sign of the Swan." He had "a large, flourishing, respectable business...."〔Sheavyn, p. 69.〕 Early in his career as a publisher, Burby issued works in the famous controversy between Thomas Nashe and Gabriel Harvey. Curiously, Burby published works in their exchange by both Nashe and Harvey; his connection, it appears, was not personal or ideological — just business.〔Sheavyn, pp. 86-7.〕 He also published Nashe's ''The Unfortunate Traveller'' (1594) and ''Lenten Stuff'' (1599).
