Lyly's linguistic style, originating in his first books, is known as Euphuism He was born in Kent in 1553 or 1554. At the age of sixteen, according to Anthony Wood , he became a student at Magdalen College, Oxford , where he proceeded to his bachelor's and master's degrees (1573 and 1575), and in 1574 applied to Lord Burghley "for the queen's letters to Magdalen College to admit him fellow." The fellowship, however, was not granted, and Lyly shortly after left the university. He complains about a sentence of rustication apparently passed on him at some time, in his address to the gentlemen scholars of Oxford affixed to the second edition of the first part of Euphues , but nothing more is known about either its date or its cause. If we are to believe Wood, Lyly never took kindly to the proper studies of the university. "For so it was that his genius being naturally bent to the pleasant paths of poetry (as if Apollo had given to him a wreath of his own bays without snatching or struggling) did in a manner neglect academical studies, yet not so much but that he took the degrees in arts, that of master being compleated 1575."

   Extractions: JOHN LYLY (1554-1606) The following biography is reprinted from Characteristics of English Poets from Chaucer to Shirley . William Minto. London: William Blackwood and Sons, 1885. John Lyly, the Euphuist, "the witty, comical, facetiously quick and unparalleled John Lyly," was the first extensive English writer of comedies. He produced no fewer than nine piecesone in blank verse, seven in prose, and one in rhyme. The Woman in the Moon (which is in blank verse, and which he calls "his first dream in Phoebus' holy bower," though not printed till 1597); Alexander and Campaspe (printed in 1584); Sappho and Phao Endymion Galathea Midas Mother Bombie The Maid's Metamorphosis (in rhyme and only probably his, 1600); Love's Metamorphosis Lyly's plays are the sort of gay, fantastic, insubstantial things that may catch widely as a transient fashion, but are too extravagant to receive sympathy from more than one generation: critics in general set their heels on his delicate constructions. His plays were acted by the children of the Revels, and he would seem to have indulged in airy and childish caprices of fancy to match. Perhaps he wrote with an abiding consciousness that ladies were to make the chief part of his audience, and thought only of bringing smiles to their faces with pretty quibbles and mildly sentimental or childishly jocular situations. In Endymion , Tellus expresses surprise that Corsites, being a captain, "who should sound nothing but terror, and suck nothing but blood," talks so softly and politely. "It agreeth not with your calling," she says, "to use words so soft as that of love." And Corsites replies with the utmost urbanity"Lady, it were unfit of wars to discourse with women, into whose minds nothing can sink but smoothness." In accordance with this idea, Lyly's subjects, except in

Purchase Plays by John Lyly John Lyly was born in Kent about 1554. His father was Peter Lyly, Registrar of Canterbury, and his grandfather the well-known grammarian, William Lyly, the friend of Colet and More. He entered Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1569, whence he graduated B.A. in 1573, and M.A. in 1575. Here he was more distinguished for wit than for scholarship. Going up to London, and living at first under the protection of Burleigh, he produced in 1578 his Euphues: the Anatomy of Wit , which was followed in 1580 by Euphues and his England , both of which gained a great and immediate popularity. He was now attached to the Earl of Oxford. Campaspe , his first play, was performed in 1581, and most of his dramatic work was done in that decade.

    Extractions: Lyly's popular prose romance, Euphues, or The Anatomy of Wit, set the fashion for the decade before Shakespeare started writing. Euphues is a rather moral romance distinguished by its elaborate style. Lyly was one of those who wanted to raise English prose to the height of sophistication of the great Latin stylists. The result is at times almost comic to us nowand soon became the subject of parody* in his own timebut it was an important development in the awareness of English writers of the power of the language they spoke. A sample* of Lyly's elegant and elaborate style in Endymion Both Lyly's prose works and his plays give many examples of the Renaissance creed that male friendship is to be considered superior to the love of a man for a woman (the woman's point of view is not considered). Euphues and Philautus vie for the love of Lucilla, realising finally that their friendship is more important; in the play Endymion Eumenides puts his love for his friend Endymion above his love for Semele (with the happy result that Endymion is restored to youth and he is given Semele as a reward).

    Extractions: John Lyly John Lyly was probably born in Canterbury in 1553 or 1554. He took his B.A. at Oxford in 1573 and his M.A. in 1575, and was made an M.A. by Cambridge University also in 1579. Late in 1578 his Euphues: The Anatomy of Wit was issued, a work intended to set a pattern for English prose, in which he wove into a thin thread of fiction dissertations on such subjects as education and contemporary manners. A second part, Euphues and His England , appeared in 1580. In spite of the vogue of Euphues , whose style was imitated in a series of romantic novels for many years to come, Lyly turned from fiction to devote himself to drama, possibly under the influence of the Earl of Oxford. Beginning about 1580 as his secretary, Lyly served the earl at least until about 1585. He was esquire of the body to Elizabeth in 1588, probably wrote a pamphlet and plays for the bishop's party in the Marprelate controversy of 1589-90, and secured election to parliament on four separate occasions. Disappointed of his chief hopes, however, he died in 1606, after a decade marked for us only by some petty records of his family life and some letters complaining of failure and neglect. Lyly's dramatic work was part of his disappointing effort to advance his fortunes at court, especially in connection with the office of the revels, but it was also designed for the professional theater. The records of the activities and interrelations of the boy companies by whom his plays were acted are complicated and often obscure.
