Extract
Thomas Churchyard regularly complained in prefaces to his works about how few friends he had and how little support he received during his career as an author. I have been far more fortunate than Churchyard on both counts. This book could not have been completed without a Leverhulme Research Fellowship, which allowed me to immerse myself in Churchyard’s world for well over a year, and I am also grateful for individual grants from the Bibliographical Society and University of East Anglia. I owe thanks for assistance of a different nature to the staff of the Berkshire Record Office; Birmingham Archives; the Bodleian Library, Oxford; the British Library; Cambridge University Library; the College of Arms; the Houghton Library, Harvard University; the John Rylands Library, Manchester; London Metropolitan Archives; the National Archives, Kew; the National Archives of Scotland; the Norfolk Record Office; the Pepys Library, Magdalene College, Cambridge; the Priaulx Library and Island Archives, Guernsey; Shropshire Archives; the Society of Antiquaries Library; the Society of Genealogists Library; Staffordshire Record Office; Westminster City Archives; and the Wiltshire and Swindon History Centre.
