Erotische fictie
Thomas Lodge's 'Rosalynde or, Euphues' Golden Legacy' is a pastoral romance that mirrors the style of John Lyly's 'Euphues' with its use of elaborate language and witty dialogues. Set in the Forest of Arden, the story follows the adventures of Rosalynde, who disguises herself as a young man named Ganymede. The novel explores themes of love, disguise, gender roles, and the contrasts between courtly and pastoral life. Lodge's lyrical prose and intricate character development make this a captivating read that transports the reader to a whimsical world filled with love and deception. As an important work in the Elizabethan literary canon, 'Rosalynde' showcases Lodge's talent for storytelling and his ability to weave together complex narratives with social commentary. Thomas Lodge's background as a playwright and physician likely influenced his writing style and thematic choices in 'Rosalynde', adding depth and richness to the narrative that continues to captivate readers today. I highly recommend 'Rosalynde or, Euphues' Golden Legacy' to anyone interested in Elizabethan literature, pastoral romances, or classic tales of love and disguise.
