''A Quip For An Upstart Courtier'' is a satirical play written by Robert Greene in 1592. The play revolves around a humorous dispute between two courtiers, one dressed in velvet breeches and the other in cloth breeches. The play is a commentary on the social climbing and pretentiousness of the courtiers of the time. The characters engage in witty banter and insults, showcasing Greene’s skill as a writer. The play also includes a subplot involving a young woman who is courted by two suitors, one of whom is a pretentious courtier and the other a sincere gentleman. The play ends with a moral lesson about the importance of honesty and humility. ''A Quip For An Upstart Courtier'' is a classic example of Elizabethan satire and is still widely read and studied today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
