Nicholas Cooke: Actor, Soldier, Physician, Priest : A Novel
|
|
|
New York and London: W W Norton & Co Inc, 1993. A real nice 442 page advanced reading copy with clean unmarked pages. First novel by Cowell. Nicholas Cooke is brilliant and curious. Naturally though sometimes irreverently spiritual, by the age of thirteen he has known more difficulties than he can comprehend. His father is hanged for thievery, his mother spends her days wandering as a prostitute, and Nicholas is expelled from school for brawling and made apprentice to a craftsman. Badly treated by his master, the boy stabs him in self-defense and runs off to London. The year is 1593. Knocking about the streets of the city, Nicholas meets the playwright Kit Morley, who seduces him. Soon tiring of him, Morley hands the boy over to John Heminges who has formed a theater company with several other idealistic and near-penniless men. At eighteen, Nicholas seduces Heminges's wife, half from devoted childish love for her and half to spite his master, then runs off in shame and idealism to fight for Lord Essex in the disastrous Irish wars.
