An Almond for a Parrot: Being a reply to Martin Mar-Prelate. by Thomas Nash et al.
"An Almond for a Parrot: Being a reply to Martin Mar-Prelate" attributed to Thomas Nashe is a pamphlet published in 1590. Part of England's fierce Marprelate Controversy, this work was secretly commissioned by church authorities to combat puritan attacks on the Anglican establishment. Nashe and other writers were enlisted to answer Martin Marprelate's satirical assaults using his own railing style. The pamphlet represents a charged moment when religious debate descended into street-level
mockery and personal abuse, transforming theological argument into literary warfare. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
