An affected elegance or euphuism of style, for which the Spanish poet Gongora y Argote (1561-1627), among others of his time, was noted.“Gongorism, that curious disease of euphuism, that broke out simultaneously in Italy, England, and Spain.” — The Critic.“The Renaissance riots itself away in Marinism, Gongorism, Euphuism, and the affectations of the Hôtel Rambouillet.” — J. A. Symonds.
