Synopsis
Four Letters, And Certain Sonnets by Gabriel Harvey presents a late 16th-century polemical tract that assembles a sequence of prefatory remarks, letters, and poems in a quarrel with Robert Greene and his circle. Published in London in 1592 (imprinted by John Wolfe), the collection features an opening Preface addressed to courteous readers, four Letters to Emanuel Demetrius and Christopher Bird, and a concluding set of letters and sonnets that lament Greene’s defenses and memorialize him in funeral verse. The work includes extensive commentary on authorship, the ethics of railing, and the consequences of defamation, interleaved with Latin epitaphs and the memorial Sonnets that respond to Greene’s literary persona. The editor notes Harvey's reputation as a learned but controversial figure and frames the discussion within the Elizabethan culture of rival writers, patronage, and print culture. The volume advocates temperance, the dignity of discourse, and the protection of family and friends from scandal while offering a vivid portrait of a literary feud of its era.
