John Lyly's Euphues: The Anatomy of Wit and Euphues and his
England, created a literary sensation in their own age, and had a
profound influence on Elizabethan prose. This modern-spelling
edition of the two works, the first for nearly a century, is
designed to allow the twenty-first century reader access to this
culturally significant text and to explore the fascination that it
exerted. Attuned to the needs of both students and specialists, the
text is edited from the earliest complete witnesses, is richly
annotated, and facilitates an understanding of Lyly's narrative
technique by distinguishing typographically between narrative
levels. The introduction explores the relationship between the
dramatic and non-dramatic work, locating Lyly's highly influential
plays in a wider context and Euphues' Latin poem in praise of
Elizabeth I, translated for the first time, is discussed in an
Appendix. A work of primary importance for students of Renaissance
prose, this edition complements the on-going publication of Lyly's
dramatic works in The Revels Plays. -- .
