Summary: | This book explores the early modern interest in conversation. Conversation was widely accepted to have been inspired by the philosopher Cicero. Recognising his influence on courtesy literature - the main source for 'civil conversation' - Jennifer Richards uncovers new ways of thinking about humanism as a project of linguistic and social reform.
