Overview
- Demonstrates that novelists use both Classical and Enlightenment thinking about friendship to negotiate their relationships to the reading audience
- Demonstrates the ways novelists mobilize the rhetoric of amity as a framing metaphor of narrative form and reception because of its social import
- Shows that ideal friendship becomes a central link between the rhetoric and narrative content of early fictions
