From the poignant schoolgirl relationship between Jane Eyre and Helen Burns to Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn's adventures on the Mississippi, fictional friends have supported, guided, comforted--and at times betrayed, the heroes and heroines of our most popular plays and novels. This book explores twenty-four literary friendships and together with character studies and publication history, describes how each key relationship influences character, determines the plot, or underlines the theme of each literary work. It shows how authors have by turn celebrated, lamented, or transformed friendships throughout the ages. Some friendships, Don Quixote and Sancho Panza, Holmes and Watson, and even Bridget Jones and pals, have taken on creative lives beyond the bounds of their original narratives. Including a broad scope of literature from writers such as Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, John Steinbeck, Alice Walker, Dona Tartt, and Margaret Atwood, this book is the ideal gift for your literature-loving friend"--Publisher's description. 650 0 $a Friendship in literature. 650 0 $a Fiction $x History and criticism. 941 $a 2 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20220804024919.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20220426010128.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2A9BB21CC52611EC906460AF4BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
