Notes

1 See Ostovich, “Introduction,” 11–12, and Angus, Metadrama and the Informer, 75 for further accounts of the relationship of the ban to Every Man Out. Lynda E. Boose (“The 1599 Bishops’ Ban,” 185–200) identifies the graphically sexual and scatological nature of some satire as additional reasons for the ban.

2 Ostovich, “Introduction,” 12. Watson (Parodic Strategy, 239n10) suggests parallels between Macilente, Nashe’s Pierce Penilesse, and several other Renaissance dramatic malcontents. The thesis of James Bednarz’s Shakespeare and the Poet’s War is that Every Man Out occasions the infamous war, and that it was “in opposition to Shakespeare that [Jonson] designed comical satire to displace romantic comedy” (13).
