Omschrijving
Pierce Penilesse: His Supplication To The Devil is a satirical work written by Thomas Nash in 1592. The book follows the story of Pierce Penilesse, a poor and destitute scholar who is frustrated with the corrupt state of society and the lack of opportunities available to him. In his desperation, Pierce turns to the devil for help and writes a supplication to him, asking for riches and success.The book is a scathing critique of the greed and corruption of Elizabethan society, particularly the court and the church. Nash uses Pierce's story to highlight the hypocrisy and immorality of those in power, and to expose the flaws in the social and economic systems of the time.Pierce Penilesse: His Supplication To The Devil is written in a lively and humorous style, with Nash using a range of literary devices such as irony, satire, and parody to convey his message. The book is also notable for its use of colloquial language and slang, which gives it a unique and authentic feel.Overall, Pierce Penilesse: His Supplication To The Devil is an important work of Elizabethan literature, offering a fascinating insight into the social and political issues of the time, as well as showcasing Nash's wit and literary talent.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
