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.
