euphuism

1 Michael Drayton, in some verse complimentary to Sidney, stigmatises not much too strongly Lyly's prevailing faults, and attributes to the hero of Zutphen the purification of England from euphuism.

2 He first left the 17th century, with its stiff euphuisms, its formal obsequiousness, its ponderous scholasticism and its metaphorical antitheses, definitely behind.

3 The horrible maltreatment of women in India, which it would be an unpardonable euphuism to call simply ungallant, will be dwelt on in a later chapter.

4 A euphuism has been invented to cover the wrongfulness of this system; it is now called 'discounting.'

5 Equally unsatisfactory is the theory that euphuism was of purely Spanish origin.

6 The good wives of the neighbourhood used no such euphuisms as their more prudent husbands, when they spoke of Crayshaw’s.

7 He preserved, in a great measure, the dramatic tradition of John Lyly, and affected a kind of subdued euphuism.

8 "Rosalynde" marks the end of the unquestioned supremacy of euphuism as a literary mode.

9 The world is so much with us, now-a-days, that we need have something that prates to us, albeit even in too fine an euphuism, of the moon and stars.

10 We have seen that English euphuism was at first a flower of unconscious growth sprung from the soil of humanism.

11 A prose idyl is the term which best describes the courtly and pastoral character of Lodge's "Rosalynde," the last work of fiction of any importance which distinctly bears the impress of euphuism.

12 Cruelty shucks to can ruthless ground the word that people packs meticulously with the euphuism.

残酷到能毫不留情地剥去人们用华丽的词藻精心包装的字眼。

13 His language soars into the wildest hyperboles and euphuisms.

14 This brief survey of the framework of euphuism is far from being an exhaustive analysis.

15 What euphuism was to the Elizabethan courtiers, what the langue galante was to the court of Louis XIV., the mythological dialect was to the gay circles of aristocratic Rome.

16 Like a fossil in the stratum of euphuism it was soon covered up by the artificial layer of arcadianism.

17 I had a vision of him standing by his mission door aforetime, repeating one jest, or more likely one stale euphuism night after night.

18 Its name is quaint, for so was its discoverer, Luke Fox, a worthy man, addicted much to euphuism. 

19 And with this pretty little instance of courtly and courteous euphuism we pass from the first to the second and most important act in the play.

20 And here again the poetical and aristocratic tendencies of euphuism show themselves.
