Abstract
In this essay, Jennifer Richards suggests that a study of Gabriel Harvey's neglected poetry and prose qualifies his current reputation as a purely pragmatic Renaissance humanist. In his literary writings, Harvey explores the different ways in which social bonds are formed and sustained; this interest is also manifested in his marginalia. Richards considers the continuity between Harvey's work as both a writer and a reader in relation to his annotations of James VI's Essayes of a Prentise, in the Divine Art of Poesie (Edinburgh, 1584). This example also suggests that the broader political implications of marginalia should be reappraised.
