Rhetoric and Courtliness in Early Modern Literature
Richards, Jennifer (University of Newcastle upon Tyne)
This book explores the early modern interest in conversation. Conversation was widely accepted to have been inspired by the philosopher Cicero. Recognizing his influence on courtesy literature - the main source for 'civil conversation' - Jennifer Richards uncovers alternative ways of thinking about humanism as a project of linguistic and social reform.
