- Title
Thomas Nashe, The Vnfortunate Traveller, and Love's Labour's Lost.
- Authors
HUNT, MAURICE
- Abstract
This paper describes hitherto unnoticed collocations of passages in Thomas Nashe's The Vnfortvnate Traveller and their counter-parts in Shakespeare's Love's Labour's Lost. In each case, the constellations discovered consist of references to "mote," especially the biblical mote in the eye; to the Nine Worthies; and to Neo-Platonic imagery of light, eyes, and soul in love sonnets. Since The Vnfortvnate Traveller arguably predates Shakespeare's play, these constellations, along with other evidence--such as the repeated use of the word "infant" in each work--confirm Shakespeare's remarkable receptiveness to Nashe's diction and imagery.
