Conversation was widely accepted to have been inspired by the republican 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. She argues that humanists explored styles of conversation to reform the manner of association between male associates; teachers and students, buyers and sellers, and settlers and colonial others. They reconsidered the meaning of 'honesty' in social interchange in an attempt to represent the tension between self-interest and social duty. Richards explores the interest in civil conversation among mid-Tudor humanists, John Cheke, Thomas Smith and Roger Ascham, as well as their self-styled successors, Gabriel Harvey and Edmund Spenser.English literatureEarly modern, 1500-1700History and criticismCourts and courtiers in literatureEnglish languageEarly modern, 1500-1700RhetoricConversationHistory16th centuryConversationHistory17th centuryConversation in literatureCourtesy in literatureHumanistsEnglandEnglandIntellectual life16th centuryEnglandIntellectual life17th centuryEnglish literatureHistory and criticism.Courts and courtiers in literature.English languageRhetoric.ConversationHistoryConversationHistoryConversation in literature.Courtesy in literature.Humanists820.9/3554Richards Jennifer1599373MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817628403321Rhetoric and courtliness in early modern literature3922024UNINA
