Earning a Living as an Author in Early Modern England: The Case of Anthony Munday

This doctoral dissertation examines the life and career of Anthony Munday (1560-1633), a prolific writer in Tudor/Stuart England. Over a career spanning more than fifty years, Munday produced over eighty works, including plays, pamphlets, translations, and historical accounts. Scholars have described him in various ways, from "our best plotter" to "literary hack." This research argues that Munday serves as a crucial case study for understanding the rising middling classes in early modern England. The study emphasizes a re-examination of primary sources to understand Munday's life and literary output in its totality, rather than focusing on isolated aspects. By analyzing his career chronologically and considering his consistent work for commercial gain, the dissertation aims to present a comprehensive picture of a professional writer who was also a member of the upwardly mobile, middling social strata. The research explores Munday's engagement with political and religious currents of his time, his work in the professional theatre, and his contributions to civic pageantry. It positions Munday not just as a writer, but as a reflection of the societal shifts, increasing literacy, and developing economy of Renaissance England.
