This school is certainly connected with - 8 7 - Petrarchism so that many Euphuists could be classed among the Petrarchists. At first the Euphuists had a good influence, they gathered all the good they could take from Scholasticism, Feudalism, Ciceronianism and Petrarchism, they tried to approach nature, but, in the end, they did not succeed. They degenerated from their first aim, and there was in England a literary movement similar to that of the Precieuses in France. Really even in Euphues we ...see the principal defects of the Petrarchists: an exaggerated use of antithesis, similes, paradox, a defect which reached, little by little, the hyperbolical style of Donne and Cowley. Our opinion is that the chief poet around whom all the English lyrical poets still gathered, the poet . Whom they stud- ied and honoured as the greatest author- ity was still Petrarch. In fact the early Elizabethan poetry in general, but chiefly the numerous Elizabethan sonnets, in one way or another, owe much to Italy and to Petrarch in particular.
