Male friendship and testimonies of love in Shakespeare's England / Will Tosh.

• Introduction : Anthony Bacon and the uses of friendship -- Intimacy : Nicholas Faunt, faith and the consolations of friendship -- Instrumentality : the prison, liberty and writing friendship in the space in between -- Institutionality : Nicholas Trott, the Inns of Court and the value of friendship -- Instability : service, love and jealousy in the Essex circle -- Conclusion.

• Revealing the complex and unfamiliar forms of friendship that existed between men in the late sixteenth century, this book uses the unpublished letter archive of the Elizabethan spy Anthony Bacon in order to show how he negotiated a path through life that relied on the support of his friends, rather than the advantages and status that came with marriage.
