Library,) JLJ, Preface The bibliography of Greene's cony-catching pamphlets which precedes my discussion of them supplies a deficiency in our knowledge and enables us to distinguish between editions which in the past have been confused* In my opinion, however, its greatest value is that it supports Greene's claim for the immediate popular success of his Notable Discovery of Goosenage, and disproves the common assumption that Greene was deliberately mis representing the facts in his "Address" to The Second and last part of Gonny-catching. This, in turn, affects our view of his character. Collation of the extant copies of the cony- catching pamphlets has revealed the existence of a hitherto unknown edition of The Thirde and last Part of Gonny-catching. It has also revealed that there is only one edition extant of The Defence of Conny catching; a defective copy in the British Museum, made up with the Epistle from a copy of the 1592 edition of A Wotable Discovery of Goosenage, has in the past been mistakenly described as another iii edition. Since 1915 there has been no exhaustive study of Greene in English. It is time that his charac­ ter and work were reassessed in the light of our fuller knowledge of his age, and this I have at­ tempted in the chapters that follow my bibliog­ raphy. Table of Contents.
