John Lyly
A revised and enlarged edition of the treatise awarded the Harness prize at Cambridge in 1904. The eminent Elizabethan scholar discusses Lyly: (1) as a founder, if not the founder of English prose style; (b) as the author of the first novel of manners in the language; (3) and from the point of view of Elizabethan literature most important of all, as one of England's earliest dramatists, "who without doubt merits the title of Father of English Comedy."THIS TITLE IS CITED AND RECOMMENDED BY: Books for College Libraries. --This text refers to the Library Binding edition.
