Laminated illustrated wrappers, 8vo, xii,198, [1] pp. From the blurb - "Edmund Tilney dedicated to Queen Elizabeth in 1568 - a time when she was under considerable pressure to marry - a spirited dialogue concerning appropriate behavior in marriage. In Tilney's conduct book, which was modeled on Erasmus's Conjugium and Castiglione's Courtier, fictional counterparts to such notables as Vives, Erasmus, Heloise, and the queen herself all make an appearance to offer advice on how to nurture the flower of friendship within marriage. Extraordinarily popular for a generation following its first publication, it is available here for the first time in a critical edition that includes a comprehensive essay by Valerie Wayne. In her introduction, Wayne examines the dialogue's competing notions of conjugality within their historical and literary contexts and illustrates the impact of humanism on Protestant and Puritan positions. Since marriage was the most common means by which Renaissance women in Protestant countries could sustain themselves outside their parental home, ideologies of marriage became a primary means by which women were constructed as subjects. Wayne explores the range of ideologies presented in The Flower of Friendship, illuminating the contradictory claims of the humanist position in relation to the conflicts within Elizabethan culture over the queen's resistance to marriage. This edition of a lively debate on marital and sexual conduct in the Renaissance will be welcomed by students and scholars of Renaissance literature, culture, and history, and by others interested in gender issues and the history of marriage."

Cloth, 8vo, viii, 425 pp, ills ; From the blurb - "Scodel treats a vast range of texts, from canonical poetry to anonymous inscriptions, and investigates the influence of classical, medieval, and early modem continental models upon English epitaphs. Combining discussion of broad historical trends withclose analysis of works by the most original poets, Scodel shows how such writers as Jonson, Donne, Carew, Crashaw, Herrick, Marvell, Cowley, Dryden, Pope, Johnson, Gray, and Wordsworth transform generic conventions in order to create their individual epitaphic poetics. Asserting that many of the most powerful writers used the epitaph to challenge dominant literary and social hierarchies, he traces the flowering of the genre in the seventeenth century, when poets with clashing social, political, and religious visions promoted opposing views of the public role of the dead; the growing dissatisfaction, in the early eighteenth century, with prevailing criteria for drawing distinctions among the deceased; attempts by poets from the mid-eighteenth through the early nineteenth century to reintegrate the dead into a changing socioeconomic order; and the eventual decline of the genre into anachronism. Throughout, Scodel shows how changes in the poetic epitaph's form, generic interaction with elegy, and relation to funerary monuments represent crucial shifts in attitudes toward the living and the dead."
