Giambattista Marino
Giambattista Marino (also Giovan Battista Marini) (14 October 1569 – 26 March 1625) was a Neapolitan poet who was born in Naples. He is most famous for his epic '.

He was widely imitated in Italy, France (where he was the idol of members of the ''précieux'' school, such as Georges Scudéry, and the so-called ''libertins'' such as Tristan l'Hermite), Spain (where hi ...

Euphuism
Euphuism is an elegant literary style that was briefly in fashion during the Elizabethan era. The euphuism style employed the frequent use of alliteration, antithesis, balance, and simile, with references to nature and mythological tales. Euphuism was fashionable in the 1580s, especially in the Elizabethan court. Its origins can be traced back to Spanish writer Antonio de Guevara, whose ornate, manierist courtesan prose became very popular throughout Europe, and whose work ''The Clock of the Princes'', translated into English in 1557 by Thomas North, reached its peak in popularity during Elizabeth I's reign. ''Euphues'' (1580) "Euphues" (εὐφυής) is the Greek for "graceful, witty". John Lyly published the works '' Euphues: The Anatomy of Wit'' (1578) and ''Euphues and his England'' (1580). Both works illustrated the intellectual fashions and favourite themes of Renaissance society— in a highly artificial and mannered style. The plots are unimportant, existin ...
