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. 517 3 $aRhetoric & Courtliness in Early Modern Literature 606 $aEnglish literature$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xHistory and criticism 606 $aCourts and courtiers in literature 606 $aEnglish language$yEarly modern, 1500-1700$xRhetoric 606 $aConversation$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aConversation$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aConversation in literature 606 $aCourtesy in literature 606 $aHumanists$zEngland 607 $aEngland$xIntellectual life$y16th century 607 $aEngland$xIntellectual life$y17th century 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aCourts and courtiers in literature. 615 0$aEnglish language$xRhetoric. 615 0$aConversation$xHistory 615 0$aConversation$xHistory 615 0$aConversation in literature. 615 0$aCourtesy in literature. 615 0$aHumanists 676 $a820.9/3554 700 $aRichards$b Jennifer$01483907 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783109203321 996 $aRhetoric and courtliness in early modern literature$93702252 997 $aUNINA
