Gascoigne (1535-1577) is considered the most important poet of the early Elizabethan era, following Sir Thomas Wyatt and Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey and leading to the emergence of Philip Sidney. He was the first poet to deify Queen Elizabeth I, and composed the first comedy written in English prose, which was used by Shakespeare as a source for The Taming of the Shrew. Zwei Bände, zus.
