Interdisciplinary in scope, this collection examines the varied and
complex ways in which early modern Europeans imagined, discussed
and enacted friendship, a fundamentally elective relationship
between individuals otherwise bound in prescribed familial,
religious and political associations. The volume is carefully
designed to reflect the complexity and multi-faceted nature of
early modern friendship, and each chapter comprises a case study of
specific contexts, narratives and/or lived friendships.
Contributors include scholars of British, French, Italian and
Spanish culture, offering literary, historical, religious, and
political perspectives. Discourses and Representations of
Friendship in Early Modern Europe, 1500-1700 lays the groundwork
for a taxonomy of the transformations of friendship discourse in
Western Europe and its overlap with emergent views of the psyche
and the body, as well as of the relationship of the self to others,
classes, social institutions and the state.
