Trieste Publishing has a massive catalogue of classic book titles. Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers. Generally, Trieste books are purchased singly - on demand, however they may also be purchased in bulk. Readers interested in bulk purchases are invited to contact us directly to enquire about our tailored bulk rates.

Jack of Newbury is an incisive yet remarkably entertaining work of narrative prose?and one that was extremely popular when it was published in the 1590s. The title character, an apprentice weaver, marries his former masters wife, expands her cloth business into an enormous enterprise, refuses Henry VIIIs offer of a knighthood, and confronts Cardinal Wolsey; meanwhile, his servants find themselves in a range of comic situations. While amusing, Jack of Newbury also carries a serious and subversive political message: as Peter C. Herman puts it in his introduction to the volume, the truly valuable subjects in Deloneys narrative are not the nobility, but the merchant class. The range of contextual materials included with this edition help to set it in the broader context of its economic and political as well as literary culture.

Thomas Deloney was born in 1543 in London, England.
Deloney received some formal education.
His ballads, many of which have disappeared, were upon topics of the time; a few were humorous. He is better known for his stories, which include The Gentle Craft (c. 1600), the basis of Thomas Dekker's play The Shoemaker's Holiday; The Pleasant History of John Winchcomb (date unknown); and Thomas of Reading (date unknown). Historians of the novel have of late devoted increasing attention to Deloney for his early ventures into prose narrative, which are important landmarks in the field of fiction.
