The Oxford Dictionary of Literary Terms (4 ed.)
... book A book that gives advice to aspiring young courtiers in etiquette and other aspects of behaviour expected at royal or noble courts. This kind of work—sometimes written in verse—first became popular in various parts of Europe in the late Middle Ages. In the Renaissance , some important courtesy books expanded more philosophically on the nature of the ideal gentleman and his varied accomplishments. The most influential of these was Baldessare Castiglione ’s Il Libro del Cortegiano ( 1528 ), a sequence of dialogues on court life and platonic love....

In short, it is to think about what books...

And now / You treat me like a liar! I order you: / Burn me!” Taking ironic umbrage that his books were not chosen to be burned by a repressive regime (for Brecht’s books were burned by the Nazis), the speaker confuses his writings with his body. 299 But his appeal also insists that his literal body must itself be burned. He offers himself, his body that produces books, his...
