SUGGESTED READINGS WITH QUESTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS Elizabethan Prose.--Good selections from Ascham, Hakluyt, Raleigh, Holinshed, Stow, Camden, North, Sidney, Foxe, Hooker, Lyly, Greene, Lodge, and Nashe are given in Craik, I.[31] Chambers, I. and Manly, II. also give a number of selections. Deloney's _The Gentle Craft_ may be found in the Clarendon Press edition of his _Works_. For Bacon, see Craik, II. These selections will give the student a broader grasp of the Elizabethan age. The style and subject matter of Lyly's _Euphues_, Sidney's _Arcadia_, Hooker's _Of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity_, and Bacon's _Essays_ should be specially noted. Which one of these authors exerted the strongest influence on his own age? Which one makes the strongest appeal to modern times? In what respects does the style of any Elizabethan prose writer show an improvement over that of Mandeville and Malory?
