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. These podcasts use the works of Thomas Nashe and his contemporaries to explore what precarity meant then, and what it means now.

This episode explores how Nashe’s style was shaped by the socio-economic, religious, and cultural circumstances of late Elizabethan England. It looks at how Nashe's works are driven by paradoxes: by an elitist contempt for the populist strategies he uses to make a living, and the sense of himself as both insider and outsider. With guests Joe Black and Sam Fallon. Transcripts: https://tinyurl.com/mwjr4uj7
