Description

Explore the deep connection between language and human connection in Friendship and Rhetoric in the Middle Ages: The Linguistic Performance of Intimacy from Cicero to Aelred. Published by Routledge, this scholarly work examines approximately 1,200 years of literature to understand how language acted as the primary tool for building medieval friendships. Spanning from the first century BC to roughly 1160 AD, this book moves beyond traditional studies that look for the lived experiences of individuals. Instead, it focuses on the actual enactment of friendship through rhetorical language. You will find detailed analysis of how intimacy was performed across various settings, including oratorical, ecclesiastical, monastic, and erotic contexts. This text is an essential resource for students and researchers of medieval literature. It provides a unique perspective on how speech and writing shaped social bonds throughout the middle ages, offering a fresh way to study the history of human intimacy and linguistic performance.
