		Lyly sat in parliament as member for Hindon in 1580, for Aylesbury in 1593, for Appleby in 1597 and for Aylesbury a second time in 1601.
		Gabriel Harvey dreaded lest Lyly should make a play upon their quarrel; Meres, as is well known, places him among "the best for comedy"; and Ben Jonson names him among those foremost rivals who were "outshone" and outsung by Shakespeare.

	John Lyly (1554?-1606)
		John Lyly was probably born in Canterbury in 1553 or 1554.
		Lyly's dramatic work was part of his disappointing effort to advance his fortunes at court, especially in connection with the office of the revels, but it was also designed for the professional theater.
		Lyly availed himself of the fashion to flatter Elizabeth boldly as Cynthia and possibly to glance at events in the court.

	John Lyly - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He complains about a sentence of rustication apparently passed on him at some time, in his address to the gentlemen scholars of Oxford affixed to the second edition of the first part of Euphues but nothing more is known about either its date or its cause.
		He began his literary career by the composition of Euphues, or the Anatomy of Wit, which was licensed to Gabriel Cawood in December, 1578, and published in the spring of 1579.
		The two petitions, transcripts of which are extant among the Harleian Manuscripts, are undated, but in the first of them he speaks of having been ten years hanging about the court in hope of preferment, and in the second he extends the period to thirteen years.

		Lyly's first work, Euphues : The Anatomy of Wit (1578), a prose narrative originating in the love and friendship tradition, was an immediate success, and was quickly followed by an expanded version (1579), and by a sequel, Euphues and His England (1580), bringing the central figure to London.
		Lyly's literary prominence during this period is also signalled by the choice of the bishops to involve him in the “Martin Marprelate” controversy, a pamphlet war raging between those for and against the Presbyterian system of church discipline.
		Though Lyly's success as a writer was relatively short-lived, it is impossible to over-estimate his impact upon literary tastes of the 1580s and the influence exerted by his work.

	John Lyly: a biographical sketch
		John Lyly was born in Kent about 1554.
		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.

	Alwes - "I would faine serve": John Lyly's Career at Court
		Lyly's plays do flatter Queen Elizabeth by celebrating her rule (though that celebration is often remarkably subtle and understated), but I argue that they do so primarily by advertising the many possible ways in which Lyly was willing and able to serve his queen--as panegyrist, advisor, courtier, censor, or Master of the Revels.
		Lyly's insistence on the limits of monarchical rule is not insubordination; it is a salutary reminder of the interdependence of a society founded on mutual respect.
		Lyly may be reminding Elizabeth that if she ever plans to reward him for his loyal service she needs to act quickly, but the miraculous rejuvenation of the aged Endimion also implies that all of Lyly's lost time could be redeemed if only Cynthia would "shine" on him.

		John Lyly, born in 1553 or 1554, was an Oxford man. He graduated B.A. in 1573, and M.A. in 1575, and, in 1579, was incorporated M.A. at Cambridge.
		Indeed, Lyly is typical of the university-bred man whose native common-sense and humour just save him from the pedantry which conceives that the summum bonum for man lies in books, and in books only.
		In the plays which Lyly wrote between his first appearance as an author, in 1579, with his novel Euphues and his Anatomie of Wit, 1 and his death in 1606, he was rather one who mingled literary and social fashions, a populariser and a perfecter, than a creator.

		But this elaborated style, this “curtizan-like painted affectation” of Euphuism, did not originate with Lyly himself; he only “hatched the egges that his elder friendes laide.” Its immediate origin lay in a certain stylistic tendency then fashionable in England.
		It only remained for Lyly to expand the recognised methods of simile-manufacture by adding to Pettie’s collection, based on fact and personal observation, others invented by himself, and based on fancy.
		The ultimate origin of the fashion lay yet further afield, and is to be traced to that widespread movement for improving the vernacular which left its mark on almost every European literature.

	Charles Wisner Barrell - John Lyly as Both Oxford's and Shakespeare's "Honest Steward"
		The conveyance, made out in Lyly's name, states that it has been drawn "in consideration of the good and faithful service that the said John Lyly hath heretofore done unto the said Earl." 3 During the same year of 1584, Oxford also turned over to Lyly the lease of the Blackfriars Theatre.
		Not only is the general situation between master and servant, as outlined by Lyly in his letter to the Lord Treasurer, the same as that presented in the play; but under pressure of identical emotional stress, the reactions of John Lyly are echoed in the words of Flavius.
		John Lyly's expression, in the letter to Burghley, of his personal feeling toward the strange, temperamental genius who employed him, bears repetition at this point.

	[EMLS 6.2 (September, 2000]: 3.1-19 The Healthy Body
		John Lyly's play Love's Metamorphosis is described on its title page as "A Witty and Courtly Pastoral" and was first performed around 1590 by the Children of Paul's.
		Lyly is concerned with developing the idea of an active body (both male and female) which is bound up in an economy of pleasure and which represents a new understanding of the role of the body in the formation of a social identity.
		In this play, Lyly effects a metamorphosis of several bodies from a closed, virginal, autoerotic and sterile state to one which is open to possibilities, fruitful, a site of pleasure and exchange; a social body, which is replicated at both levels of the plot.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Pap with a Hatchet (Pappe with an Hatchet)
		Lyly's contribution to the controversy is not, however, the elevated discourse promoting the propriety of the established church that might have been anticipated from a writer celebrated for the elegance of his style.
		Declaring that he intends to leave the theological aspects of the dispute to those better versed in the field, Lyly adopts the persona of a tavern roisterer, attempting to counter the racy tone of the Martinist tracts through a combination of highly colloquial derision and abuse.
		Throughout the work, Lyly thinks insistently in dramatic terms, from his use of direct speech in the tavern scene that he evokes at the outset, through the variety of beards he feels requisite for the different stances he elects to assume, to his overt reflections on contemporary theatrical concerns.

	John Lyly and the euphuistic style
		Lyly was one of those who wanted to raise English prose to the height of sophistication of the great Latin stylists.
		The result is at times almost comic to us now--and soon became the subject of parody* in his own time--but it was an important development in the awareness of English writers of the power of the language they spoke.
		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).

		John Lyly's plays, written for child actors, and for the select audience at Elizabeth's Court, retain some of the same artifice of his elaborate prose works.
		The strong point of Lyly's plays is that they are written in witty prose, and are elegantly constructed.
		Lyly builds his comedies around a central debate, rather in the fashion of The Courtier.
