Euphuism (1889)

Euphuism is a book written by James Morgan Hart and published in 1889. The book explores the literary style known as Euphuism, which was popular during the Elizabethan era in England. Euphuism is characterized by its elaborate and ornate prose, often featuring alliteration, wordplay, and a highly artificial style. Hart's book provides a detailed analysis of the origins and development of Euphuism, as well as its influence on later literary movements. The book includes numerous examples of Euphuistic writing, including selections from the works of John Lyly, the writer who first popularized the style. Hart's work is considered an important contribution to the study of Elizabethan literature and the history of the English language.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
