Description

John Lyly's Euphues: The Anatomy of Wit and Euphues and his England is a landmark work of Elizabethan prose that continues to fascinate readers today. This modern-spelling edition, featuring an annotated text and rich commentary, brings the works back into view for the 21st century reader. The edition draws on the earliest complete witnesses, providing a detailed understanding of Lyly's narrative technique and facilitating exploration of his unique style. The inclusion of a translated Latin poem in praise of Elizabeth I adds a new layer of insight into this culturally significant text. This publication complements the ongoing release of Lyly's dramatic works, offering a valuable resource for students and scholars of Renaissance prose. A comprehensive introduction provides context for the dramatic and non-dramatic work, situating Lyly's plays within a wider cultural landscape.
