Friendships between writers of the mid-Tang era became famous through the many texts they wrote to and about one another. Anna M. Shields explores these texts to reveal the complex value the writers found in friendship--as a rewarding social practice, a rich literary topic, a way to negotiate literati identity, and a path toward self-understanding.
