Books as Friends
Stephanie Frampton, MIT Literature

Pinpointing the earliest appearance of the metaphor in the letters of the Roman orator, politician, and philosopher Cicero, this paper asks what it means to read books as friends, how we make connections with others by sharing texts in common, and what we can learn about the past and the future from reading ancient literature today.
