About this book
John Lyly is by John Dover Wilson, and its preface says the treatise was awarded the Harness Prize at Cambridge in 1904. The preface also says that the author has revised the treatise since then, and in some matters considerably enlarged it. The preface makes particular mention of obligations to the exhaustive work of Mr Bond.
The text quotes Lyly himself as saying that he left Oxford for three years not long after his arrival. Quoting Wood, the text says Lyly was always averse to the crabbed studies of Logic and Philosophy, yet took the Degree in Arts, that of Master being completed in 1575. The text says that what was required was a book expressly provided for the eye of ladies, such a book, in fact, as Euphues and his England.
