==Early life== The son of Robert Chettle, a London dyer, he was apprenticed in 1577 and became a member of the [[Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers|Stationer's Company]] in 1584, traveling to [[Cambridge]] on their behalf in 1588. His career as a printer and author is shadowy. He may have set up some of the tracts printed in response to [[Martin Marprelate]]. In 1591, he entered into partnership with William Hoskins and John Danter, two stationers. They published a good many ballads, and some plays, including a surreptitious and botched first [[quarto]] of ''[[Romeo and Juliet]]'', to which it is suggested Chettle added lines and stage directions.
