Description
"Focusing primarily on three early modern French authors, this book explores the interdependent erotics and politics of "voluntary servitude" in classical antiquity and the early modern period. These authors - Etienne de La Boetie, Michel de Montaigne and Marie de Gournay - pursue related inquiries into voluntary servitude and self-control in marriage, friendship, pederasty and politics, often through their encounters with classical texts by Plato, Xenophon and Plutarch."--Jacket.
