In 1583 he became junior See also:proctor of the university, and in 1585 he was elected See also:master of Trinity Hall, of which he had been a fellow from 1578, but the See also:appointment appears to have been quashed at See also:court, He was a protege of the See also:Earl of See also:Leicester, to whom he introduced Spenser, and this connexion may See also:account for his friendship with Sir Philip Sidney

Greene retorted in his Quip for an Upstart Courtier with some scathing remarks on the Harveys, the worst of which were expunged in later See also:editions, See also:drawing See also:attention among other things to Harvey's modest parentage

In 1599 See also:Archbishop See also:Whitgift made a See also:raid on contemporary See also:satire in general, and among other books the tracts of Harvey and Nashe were destroyed, and it was forbidden to reprint them
