This title explores the way ancient epistolary theory and practice were understood and imitated in the European Renaissance. Eden draws chiefly upon Aristotle, Cicero, and Seneca to show how the classical genre of the 'familiar' letter emerged centuries later in the intimate styles of Petrarch Erasmus, and Montaigne.
