Buchrücken minimal bestoßen und mit kleinem Einriss, sonst gut und sauber / spine minimally bumped and with small tear, otherwise good and clean. - Long ignored by scholars, Barnabe Riches The Adventures of Brusanus (1592) is an innovative experiment in the prose fiction of the late Elizabethan period. It is an adventure story, a romance, an example of a mirror-of-a-prince text, and a debate about the nature of women à la querelle des femmes. It is also a tale about love and friendship.' Above all, it is an animated pastiche that both uses and alters the various styles of writing in vogue at the time, including Euphuism and the Medieval chivalric romance. The wide-ranging introduction examines the thematic complexity of the work, the influence it hadon Shakespeare in particularand Riches interaction with other fiction writers, especially Greene, Sidney, and Lyly. This critical edition also explores Riches clever allusions to, and thorough knowledge of, philosophical and political treatises, especially those of Antonio de Guevara and William Baldwin. Fundamentally, Brusanus is a good story and a representative model of Renaissance fiction that engages deeply with the political, social, and ideological structures of its time. / Contents PREFACE ACKNOWLEDGMENTS INTRODUCTION I.
