This is the first book-length biography of Tudor writer, soldier, and courtier Thomas Churchyard (c.1529-1604), a figure well-known yet long neglected in early modern studies, who lived, wrote, and fought under five different monarchs and enjoyed an unrivalled fifty-year literary career.

Educated at Exeter and Oxford, Matthew Woodcock taught in Oxford, Cork, and London before becoming Senior Lecturer in Medieval and Early Modern Literature at the University of East Anglia. He is the author of Fairy in The Faerie Queene (2004), a reception history of Henry V (2008), and Sir Philip Sidney and the Sidney Circle (2010); and editor of an essay collection on Fulke Greville (2001). He has published widely on medieval and Renaissance literature and literary history, including articles on hagiography, fifteenth-century history, early modern archery, Holinshed's Chronicles, and Elizabethan entertainments. Building upon his existing work on Thomas Churchyard he is currently researching a wider study of Tudor soldier-authors, and--on a slightly different tack-- a short guide to the writings of Ian Fleming.
