This edition offers a fully annotated, modern-spelling version of Lyly's Pap with an Hatchet, highlighting its significance in the Lylian canon. It serves as a counter to late sixteenth-century anti-episcopalian pamphlets by 'Martin Marprelate', using similar rhetorical devices to challenge and undermine Martin's arguments. This unique response not only showcases Lyly's wit but also provides insight into the political and religious tensions of the time.
