It uncovers the latent threat of betrayal lurking within politicized classical and humanist friendship, showing its surprising resilience as a model for political obligation undone and remade. Incorporating authors from Cicero to Abraham Cowley and Margaret Cavendish to Mary Astell, the book focuses on two extraordinary women writers, the royalist Katherine Philips and the republican Lucy Hutchinson. And it explores the ways in which they appropriate the friendship tradition in order to address problems of conflicting allegiances in the English Civil Wars and Restoration. As Penelope Anderson suggests, their writings on friendship provide a new account of women's relation to public life, organized through textual exchange rather than bodily reproduction.Edinburgh critical studies in Renaissance culture.Friendship in literatureBetrayal in literatureEnglish literatureEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismEnglish literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticismFemale friendshipEnglandHistory17th centuryWomenIntellectual life17th centuryFriendship in literature.Betrayal in literature.English literatureHistory and criticism.English literatureWomen authorsHistory and criticism.Female friendshipHistoryWomenIntellectual life820.9004HK 1091BSZrvkAnderson Penelope1572485UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910786149503321Friendship's shadows3847460UNINA$72.1911/03/2017Eng
