Machiavelli and Empire (Ideas in Context) Book

Mikael Hornqvist's study of the political theory of Machiavelli not only offers an original and challenging reading of a number of celebrated texts, but explores both the political and intellectual contexts within which Machiavelli's political vision was formed. Hornqvist stresses the classical and rhetorical character of Machiavelli's thought and analyses his preoccupation with glory and liberality in relation to the revival of Roman ideas of triumphalism. The result is a revealing account of Machiavelli's characteristic preoccupations and how they came to be formed. This is a distinctive and important work.Read More
