Summary

"Rosalynde; or, Euphues' Golden Legacy" by Thomas Lodge is a pastoral romance that explores love, honor, and family drama in the late 1500s. The story follows Rosalynde, whose father, a king, was forced to leave his land, and who must, as a consequence, struggle with love and challenges in her life. The book begins with Sir John of Bordeaux sharing his wisdom with his three sons before he dies, laying the foundation for future conflicts. One such conflict is Saladyne's jealousy of his brother Rosader, and Rosader’s pursuit of glory in a wrestling match. Set against the backdrop of Elizabethan England, this portion of the story introduces romance, tests of character, and deep emotions.
