Euphues

Originally published in 1957, this book presents the text of three Elizabethan prose romances in the euphuistic style: Euphues: The Anatomy of Wit by John Lyly, Pandosto: The Triumph of Time by Robert Greene and Piers Plainness: Seven Years' Prenticeship by Henry Chettle. A detailed editorial introduction and glossary are also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in euphuism and Elizabethan literature.

"Of primary importance for students of Renaissance prose, this edition complements the on-going publication of Lyly's dramatic works in The Revels Plays. The introduction includes a discussion of the relationship between the dramatic and non-dramatic work locating Lyly's plays in a wider context."--BOOK JACKET.
