John Lyle

A revised & 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) & 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."Wilson, John D. is the author of 'John Lyle' with ISBN 9780838302613 and ISBN 0838302610.
