Aristotle wrote extensively about it, as did Cicero. Their conception of friendship as a relationship based on reason and virtue was transformed by Christianity into a connection based on the mutual love of an individual and God.In Dante?s Idea of Friendship, Filippa Modesto offers sharp readings of the Commedia, Vita Nuova, and Convivio that demonstrate Dante?s interest in that theme. Drawing on a lucid and wide-ranging examination of the literature on friendship, she shows how he weaved together the contradictory classical and the Christian concepts of friendship into a harmonious synthesis in which friendship became a handmaiden to salvation and happiness. A fresh, perceptive interpretation of Dante?s works, Dante?s Idea of Friendship will engage medievalists, classicists, and scholars of friendship throughout the ages. 410 0$aToronto Italian studies. 606 $aFriendship in literature 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFriendship in literature. 676 $a851/.1 700 $aModesto$b Filippa$f1957-$0938900 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461636903321 996 $aDante's idea of friendship$92116461 997 $aUNINA
