This in-depth study of the essay as a form of literary and philosophical expression examines the links between essay writing and the concept of friendship over a long textual tradition running from Plato's "Phaedrus" through Montaigne's "Essais" to Derrida's "Politiques de l'amitie". Literary critic and philosopher Kuisma Korhonen suggests that the search for "textual friendship" motivates essayists as diverse as Bacon, Saint-Evremond, Mme de Lambert, Emerson, and Derrida. All of these writers have written at least one essay about friendship, and in each case, Korhonen interprets the notion of friendship as a figure for the textual encounter, both between the writer and reader and between each text and its many referenced predecessors. Korhonen points out that despite the boundary of text separating writer and reader, the essay invites friendship. Through its references to other writers it links readers and writers across boundaries of time and space.Korhonen discusses at length these "impossible encounters", drawing on the ethical thought of Emmanuel Levinas, especially his emphasis on the ethical implications of "the Other". Korhonen goes on to construct "an ethical genealogy of the essay", focusing mainly on Montaigne. He notes three textual strategies in Montaigne's essay: the use of rhetoric in producing a "friendly ethos", the philosophical dialogue going back to Plato as a subtext for the essay form, and a Pyrrhonian scepticism that questions the status of propositional language. Finally, Korhonen examines specific texts on friendship, including Plato, Cicero, Seneca, Augustine, Montaigne, Bacon, Emerson, Saint-Evremont, Mme de Lambert, and Derrida. This is a work of great erudition that makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the expressive possibilities and philosophical implications of the essay.

14. The arts of friendship : the idealization of friendship in medieval and early Renaissance literature [1994]
- Book
- xi, 249 p. ; 25 cm.
This text focuses on literary representations of three categories of ideal friendship - Christian, chivalric and humanistic - and the writers' strategies of establishing the ethical authority of their contemporary friends and codes on a par with antiquity's "amicitia perfecta". The study identifies the extent to which writers acknowledged women as perfect friends. The selected texts under examination include hagiographies, works of Bernard of Clairvaux and Aelred of Rievaulx, "The Quest of the Holy Grail", Thomas's "Tristan", the "Prose Lancelot", "Ami and Amile", the "Decameron" and L.B. Alberti's "Dell'amicizia". Literary comparatists and historians, ethical historians and students of rhetoric should be interested by the comparative study of the rhetorical topos of perfect friendship, the varied ethical criteria inherent there and the writers' strategies for representing and authorizing an idea.

Despite the deep-seated notion that the archetypal American poet sings a solitary "Song of Myself, " much of the most enduring American poetry has actually been preoccupied with friendship and its pleasures, contradictions, and discontents. Beautiful Enemies examines this obsession with the problems and paradoxes of friendship, tracing its eruption in the New American Poetry that emerges after the Second World War as a potent avant-garde movement. The book argues that a clash between friendship and nonconformity is central to postwar American poetry and its development. By focusing on of some of the most important and influential postmodernist American poets--the New York School poets John Ashbery, Frank O'Hara, and their close contemporary Amiri Baraka--the book offers a new interpretation of the peculiar dynamics of American avant-garde poetic communities and the role of the individual within them. At the same time, this study challenges both the reductive critiques of American individualism and the idealized, heavily biographical celebrations of literary camaraderie one finds in much critical discussion. Beautiful Enemies foregrounds a fundamental paradox: that at the heart of experimental American poetry pulses a commitment to individualism and dynamic movement that runs directly counter to an equally profound devotion to avant-garde collaboration and community. Delving into unmined archival evidence (including unpublished correspondence, poems, and drafts), the book demonstrates that this tense dialectic--between an aversion to conformity and a poetics of friendship--actually energizes postwar American poetry, drives the creation, meaning, and form of important poems, frames the interrelationships between certain key poets, and leaves contemporary writers with a complicated legacy to negotiate. Combining extensive readings of the poets with analysis of cultural, philosophical, and biographical contexts, Beautiful Enemies uncovers the collision between radical self-reliance and the siren call of the interpersonal at the core of twentieth-century American poetry.
