Edmund Tilney dedicated to Queen Elizabeth in 1568 a spirited dialogue concerning appropriate behavior in marriage. Extraordinarily popular for a generation following its first publication, it is available here for the first time in a critical edition that includes a comprehensive essay by Valerie Wayne.
Valerie Wayne's fine critical edition of Edmund Tilney's 1568 discourse concerning duties in marriage, The Flower of Friendship, is a very welcome contribution to this larger enterprise. The text itself takes the form of a dialogue involving several participants in the contemporary debate over the ends of marriage and the relative duties of husbands and wives.
