Beware the Cat by William Baldwin
"Beware the Cat" (1533) is the earliest original piece of long prose fiction in English. It has the distinction of being the first English "novel," far surpassing in narrative sophistication such immediate predecessors as Elyot's "Image of Governance" or Borde's "Scoggin's Jests." This edition, besides providing a modernized text of the novel, also identifies the pseudonymous author of "Beware the Cat" as William Baldwin, better known as editor and principal author of the enormously popular "Mirror for Magistrates" (1559).

William Baldwin's place in this tradition, as well as his innovative narrative art, is discussed in the introduction, which also provides biographical information on the author, historical background to his novel, and insight into the political and religious turmoil of the middle years of the sixteenth century.
