It was Petrarch's encounter with this previously unknown Cicero and his letters that Kathy Eden argues fundamentally changed the way Europeans from the fourteenth through the sixteenth centuries were expected to read and write. The Renaissance Rediscovery of Intimacy explores the way ancient epistolary theory and practice were understood and imitated in the European Renaissance.Eden draws chiefly upon Aristotle, Cicero, and Seneca-but also upon Plato, Demetrius, Quintilian, and many others-to show how the classical genre of the "familiar" letter emerged centuries later in the intimate styles of Petrarch, Erasmus, and Montaigne. Along the way, she reveals how the complex concept of intimacy in the Renaissance-leveraging the legal, affective, and stylistic dimensions of its prehistory in antiquity-pervades the literary production and reception of the period and sets the course for much that is modern in the literature of subsequent centuries. Eden's important study will interest students and scholars in a number of areas, including classical, Renaissance, and early modern studies; comparative literature; and the history of reading, rhetoric, and writing. 606 $aEuropean letters$yRenaissance, 1450-1600$xHistory and criticism 606 $aIntimacy (Psychology) in literature 606 $aEuropean letters$xClassical influences 606 $aClassical letters$xInfluence 606 $aRhetoric, Ancient 606 $aRhetoric, Renaissance 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEuropean letters$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aIntimacy (Psychology) in literature. 615 0$aEuropean letters$xClassical influences. 615 0$aClassical letters$xInfluence. 615 0$aRhetoric, Ancient. 615 0$aRhetoric, Renaissance. 676 $a809.6 700 $aEden$b Kathy$f1952-$0170834 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462180903321 996 $aThe Renaissance rediscovery of intimacy$92125346 997 $aUNINA
