Description

Friendship and Rhetoric in the Middle Ages explores approximately 1,200 years of literature, tracing the linguistic performance of intimacy from the first century BC to c. 1160 AD. This scholarly work by Routledge foregrounds language as the primary agent for cultivating medieval friendship across oratorical, ecclesiastical, monastic, and erotic contexts. Unlike many works in this field that search for lived experience behind language, this book stands apart by examining how friendship was enacted through rhetorical language among classical and medieval writers. Spanning from Cicero through Aelred, it offers a unique perspective on how medieval authors used linguistic and rhetorical strategies to construct and communicate intimate relationships, making it essential reading for scholars of medieval literature, rhetoric, and the history of friendship.

Key Features

Covers approximately 1,200 years of literary history from the first century BC to c. 1160 AD, examining friendship across multiple historical periods.

Focuses on linguistic and rhetorical performance as the foundation for understanding how medieval friendships were constructed and expressed.

Explores friendship across diverse contexts including oratorical, ecclesiastical, monastic, and erotic settings in medieval literature.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic publisher specialising in humanities and social sciences research.

Takes a distinctive methodological approach by prioritising language and rhetoric over searching for autobiographical lived experience.
