The Adventures of Master F.J.

by George Gascoigne (1535-1577)

This story presents through letters, poems and third-person commentary the love affair between a young man named Freeman Jones and a married woman named Elinor, lady of the castle he is visiting in Scotland. Events in the affair are traced from initial attraction through mutual seduction to (somewhat) graphic sexual encounters and their aftermath. Allegedly based on a real-life scandal, the author, in re-issuing his story two years after its initial publication, transplanted the action to Italy, renaming the principals Fernando Jeronimi and Leonora.
