Tom lets try to be friends When I used the word jerk, Jill was unhappy with me. Thomas Nashe was a contemporary of Shakespeare. He was one of those sons of clergymen admitted into Cambridge as a result of the Protestant reformation. There, a talented wit, he came in contact with the elegant gentlemen in training of the time. He called them fops. They spent their days all dressed up at court and their nights whoring and gambling. They were the beneficiaries of inherited and unearned wealth. He ridiculed their dress, manners, and intelligence. The survivor of this type of ridicule in Shakespearean literature is Falstaff. Nashe was what you would call a fore runner of the modern journalist. He was a hired gun. He wrote plays, poetry and books of prose which mocked the political enemies of his patrons. He was very good at it. Using the English language to great effect. I'm sure if you ask any Shakespearean scholar they will know what I am talking about. Nashe was brilliant and direct in poking fun at the bumbling aristocracy of his time.
