Review

"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."

--Brian Patton "Renaissance Quarterly "
