The work serves as an anthology, drawing on historical customs and literary examples to illustrate the profound significance attributed to friendship across various cultures and periods. It emphasizes the enduring bonds of camaraderie, particularly focusing on relationships that transcend mere acquaintance to embody deep emotional connections. The opening of the anthology presents a preface by the editor, Edward Carpenter, who notes the often underappreciated role that friendship has played throughout human history. He outlines the book's structure, which intends to track the evolution of friendship customs from primitive cultures through Greek philosophy and poetry, and into early Christian and modern times. Through an examination of various cultural practices and literary citations, the anthology seeks to convey the institution of friendship as a vital aspect of human experience, providing both historical context and philosophical reflections on its importance, notably referencing figures such as Hercules and Ioläus to frame its narrative.
