The English Novel in the Time of Shakespeare

Note 69 — Chapter III

Elizabeth Lee translation

In his excellent work, "Shakspere and Euphuism," Transactions of the New Shakspere Society, 1884, Dr. Landmann was the first to break up Lyly's style into its different parts, and point out the true sources where he found not only the elements of his language, but even many of his ideas. The same essay contains very useful information on Gongorism and other kinds of affected styles of the sixteenth century. See also Dr. Landmann's "Der Euphuismus," Giessen, 1881; his edition of part of "Euphues," Heilbronn, 1887; and an article by Mr. S. L. Lee, Athenæum, July 14, 1883.
