Summary

"Mentoring is now recognised as a crucial factor for professional and personal growth. This volume encompasses reflections on the relationship forged by mentors and mentees in history, literature and the performing arts, from the Middle Ages up until our time. Following a Preface by Charles Forsdick, which highlights how focusing on the relationship between mentors and mentees can open up new readings of literary texts, these ten essays examine the varions shapes of mentoring, its power dynamics, as well as the reciprocal process of change the mentoring relationship can instigate. They reveal the blurred margins of this relationship, as well as the benefits and risks entailed in this partnership."--Page 4 of cover.
