March 2004 12 The Image of Idleness, 53-61. 13 The story is reminiscent of a story told of Sir Launcelot in Malory’s Morte Darthur. See Eugene Vinaver (ed.), Malory: Works, Oxford Standard Authors (Oxford etc.: Oxford UP, 1977), “A Noble Tale of Sir Launcelot du Lake,” 153-4. 14 See Gascoigne, ed. Pigman, 3.10 note. 15 It is worth noting that in his letter “The Printer to the Reader,” which Pigman takes to have been written by Gascoigne himself, A Hundreth Sundrie Flowres — the volume containing The Adventures of Master F.J. — is described as a collection of “pleasant Pamphlets.” Gascoigne, ed. Pigman, 3.10. 16 See Margaret M.
