Elizabethan prose,
By A Customer
This review is from: An Anthology of Elizabethan Prose Fiction (Oxford World's Classics) (Paperback)
A pretty good collection. It includes "The Adventures ofMaster F.J.," by George Gascoigne; "Euphues: The Anatomy ofWit," by John Lyly; "Pandosto: The Triumph of Time," by Robert Greene; "The Unfortunate Traveller," by Thomas Nashe; and "Jack of Newbury," by Thomas Deloney. I reckon Nashe's book is probably the best. "Euphues" was perhaps the first important work of English fiction, and it was quite a sensation in its time. "Pandosto" was the source for Shakespeare's "Winter's Tale."
