John Florio vs. Thomas Nashe: The Real Target of Their Literary Feud Revealed

The literary feud between John Florio and Thomas Nashe is one of the most heated rivalries in the Elizabethan era. Traces of their quarrel are evident in nearly every publication by both men. In this video, we delve into the famous accusations surrounding Robert Greene's Groatsworth of Wit, where Nashe targets an "upstart crow" – a figure often linked to Shakespeare due to his dark complexion and claims of plagiarism.

But the real intrigue begins two years earlier, in Menaphon (1589), where Nashe attacks an anonymous grammarian, translator, and "Italianate" plagiarist. Who was this mystery man? In 1591, John Florio published Second Fruits as a direct response to these harsh criticisms, providing the most compelling evidence that he was the true target behind Nashe and Greene’s slander.

Watch this video to uncover the full story of Nashe’s attacks, Florio’s sharp rebuttals, and the historical proof that the Italianate pen under fire was, in fact, John Florio himself.
