Endymion
by John Lyly, David Bevington (Editor)
Paperback
Manchester Univ Pr, Nov 1997
"John Lyly was undisputed master of the private theatre
stage in the 1570s and 1580s, and this play represents
his individual Euphuistic style. It is a love comedy, and
retells an ancient legend of the prolonged sleep of the
man with whom the moon (Cynthia) fell in love. The fable
is piquantly relevant to Queen Elizabeth and her
exasperated, if adoring, courtiers."

The Plays of John Lyly : Eros and Eliza
by Michael Pincombe (Editor)
Published by Manchester Univ Pr, June 1997
"With a chapter devoted to each of English playwright
Lyly's (1554- 1606) eight highly individual plays, focuses
on the courtly aspects because all but one were written
for performance at court. Examines their relation to royal
panegyric, shows how his parody of panegyric offered a
counter-courtly perspective, and explores how he used
country themes from pastoral and Ovidian poetry to
complicate his attitude towards the court and its culture."
