Description
This thesis examines several aspects of Thomas Lodge's Rosalind,
including the structure of the work, its style, and the parodies of
courtly love and petrarchism which it contains. Analysis reveals
a triadic structure which develops patterns of three similar and
related events, actions, relationships , character types, and
situations. Within this structure, Lodge has created a parody of
courtly love role play, and a parody of petrarchan literary
conventions. Each parody supports and promotes the other. Lodge
accomplishes this in a style which exaggerates some of the elements
of John Lyly's style while disregarding others. The consequence of
Lodge's mimicry has been a persistent mislabeling of his style as
"euphuistic," and a misleading suggestion that the complex and unique
style of Rosalind is mere imitation.
