Literary scholars have largely overlooked the works of James Peele (d. 1585), intimidated perhaps, or even bored by, his subject matter, which is the exposition of double-entry bookkeeping. The recent Oxford Handbook of Tudor Literature, for example, despite its stated aim of recovering forgotten authors and their texts from the mid-sixteenth century, does not mention the works of James Peele or any of the other Tudor writers on accounting. However, the presence of a commendatory verse that is possibly by Arthur Golding, in James Peele's second book, The Pathe waye to perfectnes, indicates that Elizabethan commercial and literary cultures may not have been as divided as the modern canon of Tudor writing might lead people to believe. Here, Tomlin considers stylistic similarities between the 'A. G.' poem and Golding's other works, the use of certain unusual words and phrases by both poets, and adds some biographical detail to build a plausible case that identifies 'A. G.' as Arthur Golding.
