On Amistà analyses these dilemmas and looks at how Dante's strategic articulations of friendship evolved across the phases of his literary career, as he maneuvered between different social groups and settings. Elizabeth Coggeshall reveals that friendship was not an unequivocal moral good for the writers of late medieval Italy. Instead, it was an ambiguous term to be deployed strategically, describing a wide range of social relationships varying from allies, collaborators, servants, patrons, rivals, and enemies. Drawing on the use of the language of friendship in the letters, correspondence poems, dedications, narratives, and treatises composed by Dante and his interlocutors, Coggeshall examines the way they skillfully negotiated around the dilemmas that friendship raised in the spheres of medieval Italian literary society. The book addresses instances of inclusivity and exclusivity, collaboration and self-interest, hierarchy and equality, alterity and identity. Employing literary, historical, and sociological analysis, On Amistà presents a genealogy for the innovative and tactical use of the terms of friendship among the works of late medieval Italian authors."-- $c Provided by publisher. 500 $a Series from book jacket. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 197-212) and index. 600 00 $a Dante Alighieri, $d 1265-1321 $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 00 $a Dante Alighieri, $d 1265-1321 $x Friends and associates. 600 07 $a Dante Alighieri, $d 1265-1321. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00029097 648 7 $a To 1500 $2 fast 650 0 $a Italian literature $y To 1400 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Friendship in literature. 650 0 $a Friendship $z Italy, Northern $x History $y To 1500. 650 0 $a Criticism. 650 0 $a History. 650 7 $a Friendship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00935174 650 7 $a Friendship in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00935203 650 7 $a Italian literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00980660 651 7 $a Northern Italy. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01692643 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Coggeshall, Elizabeth A. $t On amistà . $d Toronto ; Buffalo ; London : University of Toronto Press, 2023 $z 9781487548193 $z 9781487548193 $w (OCoLC)1337160726 830 0 $a Toronto Italian studies. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012021.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F96EEAAC3D8C11EE8AE814B62EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
