Printed in 1588 and 1589 on a secret press carted across the English countryside from one sympathetic household to another, the seven tracts attack the Church of England, particularly its Bishops (hence the pseudonym, Mar-prelate), and advocate a Presbyterian system of church government. Scandalously witty, racy, and irreverent, the Marprelate tracts are the finest prose satires of their era. Their colloquial style and playfully self-dramatizing manner influenced the fiction and theatre of the Elizabethan Golden Age. This is the first fully annotated edition of the tracts to appear in almost a century. A lightly modernized text makes Martin Marprelates famous voice easily accessible, and a full introduction details the background, sources, production, authorship, and seventeenth-century afterlife of the tracts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51941698076960,"sku":"NEW0521188644","price":85.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-martin-marprelate-tracts-a-modernized-and-annotated-edition-0521188644","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
