“Overflowing of Friendship”

It’s nothing new that friendship can turn into something more judging by the title of the book “The Overflowing of Friendship: Love Between Men and the Creation of the American Republic.” It’s the latest work by former UC-Riverside history professor Richard Godbeer. The book, released in January, explores loving and sentimental male friendships in the 18th Century. Godbeer, who specializes in gender studies in colonial America, now teaches at the University of Miami in Florida.
