{"store":{"baseInfo":{"podcastTitle":"The Precarious World of Thomas Nashe","slug":"precariousworld","podcastDescription":"There’s a fairy-tale version of the Elizabethan era: a golden age of long-awaited prosperity, of palaces and pageants, of sea-faring exploration - all of it presided over by a spectacular queen governing alongside wise counsellors. There’s a lot this story misses out. Elizabethan England was also an anxious, paranoid place; its last full decade, the 1590s, saw increasing food prices, plague, and profiteering by the wealthy. One writer in particular explored what it felt like to be living on the edge. Thomas Nashe isn’t a household name today, but he wrote and published throughout the turbulent 1590s. In these podcasts, we explore the writings of Nashe and his contemporaries to open up the precarious world in which they lived.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/15813372/Jess_s_Nashe_W_cut_ab7bd3.jpeg","podcastShareLogo":null,"podcastUrl":"https://precariousworld.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":false,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/precariousworld/feed.xml","theme":"elegant","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-7zex8-f14afc?from=usersite","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":30,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT+00:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":0,"text":"(GMT+00:00) Greenwich Mean Time : Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London","daylightStartTime":"Last Sunday of March +1 Hours","daylightEndTime":"Last Sunday Of October +1 Hours","timezone":"Europe/London"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":7,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"The ’Penniless?’ Project","enableEngagementStats":false,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-7zex8-f14afc-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":3600,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-precarious-world-of-thomas-nashe/id1668896006","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://www.podbean.com/pw/pbblog-7zex8-f14afc?from=usersite","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/37e56355-fc80-4804-80dd-afddf1fd78df","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"TuneIn + Alexa","link":"https://tunein.com/radio/The-Precarious-World-of-Thomas-Nashe-p3483243/","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/tunein.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/3443073","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Listen Notes","link":"https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/the-precarious-world-of-thomas-nashe-cshrank-w1I4qm2DcKO/","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/ListenNotes.png","title":null},{"name":"Podchaser","link":"https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/the-precarious-world-of-thomas-5089586","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/Podchaser.webp","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Avenir"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Avenir"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#8fc31f"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":null},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"

The Precarious World of Thomas Nashe

Britain today is an increasingly precarious place. Many of us aren’t used to precarity - a condition of uncertainty and exposure as emotional as it is economic. But to the average Elizabethan it was the norm. In these podcasts, featuring experts in the literature and culture of sixteenth-century England, we use the works of the writer Thomas Nashe and his contemporaries to think about what precarity meant then, and means now.

Where could a freelance writer like Nashe actually find work in the Elizabethan period? In this episode we explore some of his options: being a writer in residence in the home of a wealthy patron, working for London’s popular stage, or selling his work directly to a publisher. With guests Emma Smith and Andrew McRae. Transcript: //tinyurl.com/mwjr4uj7
