"The Vnfortunate Traveller, or The Life of Jack Wilton" by Thomas Nashe is a picaresque novel published in 1594. Jack Wilton, an adventurous English page, swindles his way through military camps before embarking on a dangerous journey across sixteenth-century Europe. He witnesses massacres, befriends literary figures, travels with the Earl of Surrey, and plunges into Italy's intrigues with his companion Diamante.
