Shakespeare's Euphuism

Shakespeare's Euphuism by William Lowes Rushton is a comprehensive analysis of the literary style known as euphuism, which was popular in the late 16th century. The book delves into the origins of euphuism, its characteristics, and its influence on the works of William Shakespeare. Rushton examines the use of elaborate and ornate language, the use of allusions, and the use of rhetorical devices in euphuism. The book also explores the social and cultural context in which euphuism emerged, including the influence of courtly love and the rise of humanism. Through close analysis of Shakespeare's plays, Rushton demonstrates how euphuism influenced the Bard's writing style and the development of his characters.
