Rych's Anothomy of Ireland, With an Account of the Author

Abstract

In the merry England of Queen Elizabeth the life of the professional writer was seldom dull—witness the careers of Marlowe, Greene, Peele, and Kyd. Not less varied, though perhaps less appealing, is the career of Barnabe Rych, well known to students as a pamphleteer, romancer, and Shakespearean source. It is the lesser known but more humanly and historically interesting phase of his character which the writer ventures here to present: that of soldier and chronicler of the Irish wars, persecutor of Catholics, and informer to the Crown.
