Groats-worth of Witte, Bought With a Million of Repentance. The Repentance of Robert Greene

G. B. Harrison penned sharp critiques and cautionary tales like Groats-worth of Witte and The Repentance of Robert Greene. His works, often touching on repentance and the world of conny-catching, offer a fascinating glimpse into his time.

Robert Greene (baptised 11 July 1558 – 3 September 1592) was an English author and dramatist of the Elizabethan era. Educated at Cambridge (BA 1580, MA 1583), he moved to London and became one of the "University Wits," writing prose romances, pamphlets and plays, most notably Friar Bacon and Friar Bungay. He is also remembered for Greenes, Groats-worth of Witte, a posthumously published pamphlet widely read as containing an early, hostile allusion to William Shakespeare. Source: en.wikipedia.or...
