978-1-80170-233-1 (ISBN)
The Elizabethan writer John Lyly is regarded as the first prose stylist to leave an enduring impression upon the English language. His prose romance concerning the misadventures of Euphues, regarded by some as the first novel of English literature, launched his literary career in 1580's London. Lyly's interest with the exact arrangement and selection of words, his frequent use of classical similes and his artificial, yet elegant prose established the 'euphuism' style. In his work as a playwright, he contributed significantly to the development of prose dialogue in English drama. His comedies mark an advance upon those of his predecessors, with tales drawn from classical mythology, complemented with witty dialogue and skillful plot development. This eBook presents Lyly's complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts appearing in digital print for the first time, informative introductions and the usual Delphi bonus material.
