Pierce Penniless

''Pierce Penniless'', ''His Supplication to the Divell'' is a tall tale, or a prose satire, written by Thomas Nashe and published in London in 1592.〔Drabble, Margaret, ed. '’The Oxford Companion to English Literature.'’ Oxford University Press. 1985〕 It was among the most popular of the Elizabethan pamphlets. It was reprinted in 1593 and 1595,〔Harrison, G. B. '‘Thomas Nashe, Pierce Penilesse, His Supplication to the Divell.'’ Corwen Press. 1924〕 and in 1594 was translated into French.〔Gossse, Edmund. ''The Unfortunate Traveller or the Life of Jack Wilton: With an Essay on the Life and Writings of Thomas Nash.'' The Chiswick Press. 1892〕〔Stapleton, Michael, editor.The Cambridge Guide to English Literature. Cambridge University Press. 1983〕
It is written from the point of view of Pierce, a man who has not met with good fortune, who now bitterly complains of the world’s wickedness, and addresses his complaints to the devil. At times the identity of Pierce seems to conflate with Nashe's own. But Nashe also portrays Pierce as something of an arrogant and prodigal fool. The story is told in a style that is complex, witty, fulminating, extemporaneous, digressive, anecdotal, filled with wicked descriptions, and peppered with newly minted words and Latin phrases. The satire can be mocking and bitingly sharp, and at times Nashe’s style seems to relish its own obscurity.〔’’The Columbia Encyclopedia.’’ Columbia University Press. Ed. William Bridgwater. 1963〕〔Greenblatt, Stephen. ‘’Will in the World; How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare’’. Pimlico. 2005. p. 202〕
== Elizabethan pamphlets ==

''Pierce Penniless'' was printed and published as one of the many pamphlets or short quarto books that provided lively material to the reading public. Printed pamphlets had been a popular and longstanding tradition, but in London in the late 16th century, with the urban population booming, and literacy becoming widespread, they flourished.〔Greenblatt, Stephen. ‘’Will in the World; How Shakespeare Became Shakespeare’’. Pimlico. 2005. p. 199〕 The content of these pamphlets often tended to be scandalous or scurrilous, but they contained a variety of material: Satires, war-of-words, anonymous attacks, topical issues, poetry, fiction, etc.〔’’Pamphlets and Pamphleteering in Early Modern Britain.’’ Joad Raymond. Cambridge University Press. 2003〕 Shakespeare, in the dedication to his poem ''The Rape of Lucrece'' refers to its quarto publication as a pamphlet.〔(Shakespeare, William. ’’The Rape of Lucrece.’’ Full text online )〕
