About John Lyly
John Lylywas an English writer, playwright, courtier, and parliamentarian. He was best known during his lifetime for his two books Euphues: The Anatomy of Witand its sequel Euphues and His England (1580), but is perhaps best remembered now for his eight surviving plays, at least six of which were performed before Queen Elizabeth I. Lyly’s distinctive and much imitated literary style, named after the title character of his two books, is known as euphuism.
