		Euphues: The Anatomy of Wit draws upon two familiar literary motifs conventionally employed for didactic purposes – the love and friendship story and the tale of the prodigal son.
		Euphues falls in love with Lucilla, and under the pretence of courting another lady secretly woos her, violating the trust that Philautus places in him.
		The Euphues of Part 1, for example, is an affluent young nobleman, with all the social graces, who becomes a distinguished middle-aged theologian by the close, whereas his Part 2 counterpart is a somewhat retiring young scholar, of decidedly limited means.

		Scott modelled this character on what he called that forgotten and obsolete model of folly, once fashionable, Lylys novel of Euphues, but he had not studied the original to sufficient purpose, and the bombastic ravings of Sir Piercie, who simply talks like a lunatic, have deceived many readers as to the real characteristics of Euphuism.

		Euphues itself is related to Lyly's literary career rather as the Preface of the Lyrical Ballads is related to Wordsworth's; each marking a temporary aberration, a diversion of the author from his true path, which by its unfortunate celebrity confuses our impression of his genius.
		In the dialogue between Euphues and Atheos euphuism is almost wholly abandoned, and it is here that the confident fatuity of Lyly's thought becomes most exasperating.
		Here Euphues himself remains as detestable as he was before (the unfortunate Philautus is lectured even while sea sick) but there are three changes.

	Alwes - "I would faine serve": John Lyly's Career at Court
		Lyly's first work, Euphues: The Anatomy of Wit (1578), despite its subsequent popularity at court, is not a "courtly" work; it is a work with fairly serious humanist credentials, probably intended to display Lyly's ability and ambition as a university scholar.
		Although Euphues (who is Lyly's acknowledged authorial persona) comes to admire the court and its queen in the second work, he does not choose to remain at court.
		Lyly's dedication of Euphues and His England to the Earl of Oxford led to a patronage relationship which found Lyly writing plays for "Oxford's Boys" (a children's troupe apparently drawn from the members of the Children of Paul's and the Children of the Chapel Royal).

	England Under the Tudors By Arthur D. Innes- Chapter 29 from Nalanda Digital Library at NIT Calicut (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The year 1579 is in the strictest sense an epoch in the history of English Literature; as witnessing the first appearance of a new and original force in English verse, and the first deliberate and elaborate effort in the direction of artistically constructed English Prose.
		Euphues itself was a real and serious if somewhat misdirected effort at making a moralised culture fashionable, and at elevating; the English tongue into a medium of refined and polished expression.
		Spenser was actually the eldest of all the men whose writings shed lustre on the great Queen's reign: and Spenser himself had not attained to the full maturity of his genius--had not, at least given its fruits to the world--at the hour of England's triumph.

	John Lyly and the euphuistic style
		Euphues is a rather moral romance distinguished by its elaborate style.
		Both Lyly's prose works and his plays give many examples of the Renaissance creed that male friendship is to be considered superior to the love of a man for a woman (the woman's point of view is not considered).
		Euphues and Philautus vie for the love of Lucilla, realising finally that their friendship is more important; in the play Endymion Eumenides puts his love for his friend Endymion above his love for Semele (with the happy result that Endymion is restored to youth and he is given Semele as a reward).

	Lyly, John
		There he gained fame with the publication of two prose romances, Euphues: The Anatomy of Wit (1578) and Euphues and His England (1580), which together made him the most fashionable English writer of the 1580s.
		Euphues is a romantic intrigue told in letters interspersed with general discussions on such topics as religion, love, and epistolary style.
		Lyly's preoccupation with the exact arrangement and selection of words, his frequent use of similes drawn from classical mythology, and his artificial and excessively elegant prose inspired a short-lived Elizabethan literary style called "euphuism." The Euphues novels introduced a new concern with form into English prose.

	John Lyly: a biographical sketch
		Going up to London, and living at first under the protection of Burleigh, he produced in 1578 his Euphues: the Anatomy of Wit, which was followed in 1580 by Euphues and his England, both of which gained a great and immediate popularity.
		In spite of the distinction which Lyly won by his literary work, he failed to obtain from the Queen the substantial preferment which he craved, and he died in 1606, a disappointed place-seeker.
		Lyly's reputation has depended largely on the extraordinary vogue of his Euphues, and the immense influence of the style of that work on the prose of the time; but he holds also a highly important position in the development of polite comedy in England.
