Synopsis
The Complete Works Of John Lyly by John Lyly. This is a scholarly edition and introduction to Elizabethan progress entertainments attributed to Lyly (with possible collaboration), presented as part of Queen Elizabeth I’s progresses. The volume surveys a sequence of pageants and tableaux staged at Bisham Abbey, Sudeley, Rycote, Harefield, Cowdray, Elvetham, and other great houses, and includes later pieces such as the King of Denmark’s Welcome and a Funeral Oration for Elizabeth. Allegorical figures—Pan, Daphne, Apollo, Ceres and her Nymphs—along with personifications like Place and Time, the Satyrs and Nymphes, and the chancel, pages, musicians, and hosts, frame verse, song, and dialogue that praise the Queen and memorialize her reign. A central through-line follows Loricus and his Memorial, a sick servant’s recovery and testament that allegorically reinforces loyalty to the Crown; themes of love, virtue, and loyalty recur through a Lottery and ritual homage at each estate, culminating in a funeral-like oration that immortalizes Elizabeth. The volume presents an extensive editorial apparatus on authorship, dating, sources, Euphuism, and textual variants, situating Lyly within late?sixteenth?century court culture and his influence on English drama and prose.
