Greene in his Groatsworth of Wit attacked Shakespeare, then a very young but up-and-coming playwright, for a number of reasons: Greene was an embittered and dyspeptic man nearing his death, but he was a university man and Shakespeare was a high school graduate which was the main ground of his complaint. He was actually fairly complimentary to Shakespeare: he warned the other university-trained playwrights that this "upstart crow" could "bombast out the blank verse with the best of you."
