Recenzii
This investigation reveals how the discourse of friendship functions in an array of seventeenth-century social relationships in a way that no other study does. It is a profoundly useful guide to an elusive and perilously expansive subject.
densely researched and careful book
If Brown appears reluctant to engage with some of the more recent, theory-heavy scholarship on friendship (tellingly, the word queer never appears), this tendency undoubtedly reflects Brown's determination to read earlymodern friendships on their own terms. By exposing the linguistic registers and material practices through which these relationships were sustained, Brown provides rich pickings for future literary scholars and social historians alike.

Cedric C. Brown is a former Professor of English at the University of Reading, Dean of the Faculty, and external Professorial Research Consultant. A specialist in seventeenth-century literature, he is well known internationally as a Miltonist. He is also an archival scholar and a student of social communications, like letters, and the materialities of gift exchange. Recent work has extended to provincial Jesuit miscellanies, but the major project has been the discourses of friendship, mainly studied in lived rather than fictional situations. He is also founder general editor of the large, long-running book series Early Modern Literature in History.
