Book Overview

Metaphor and Simile in the Minor Elizabethan Drama is a book written by Frederic Ives Carpenter and published in 1895. The book explores the use of metaphor and simile in the plays of the lesser-known Elizabethan playwrights, such as Thomas Lodge, Robert Greene, and George Peele. Carpenter examines the ways in which these playwrights use figurative language to enhance the meaning and impact of their plays, and how they differ from the more well-known playwrights of the time, such as William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe. The book also includes examples of metaphor and simile from the plays, as well as analysis and interpretation of their meaning. Overall, Metaphor and Simile in the Minor Elizabethan Drama provides a unique perspective on the use of figurative language in the Elizabethan era and sheds light on the works of lesser-known playwrights.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
