Machiavelli: From Radical to Reactionary - Hardcover
by Robert Black (Author)
From a leading expert on the life and works of Niccolò Machiavelli, a superb overview of the pivotal Renaissance philosopher, writer, and historian.
"Machiavellian" can signify duplicity and amorality in politics, but Machiavelli himself was far more complex than this cliché. A high-ranking Florentine government official and prolific writer of hugely influential political, military, and historical works, Machiavelli was also a vernacular poet, first-rank dramatist, and religious radical, rejecting not only the contemporary Catholic Church but Christianity itself. From champion of Florentine popular republicanism to political radical to conservative, Machiavelli explores the many facets of the man described as the father of modern political philosophy and political science.Robert Black is professor emeritus of Renaissance history at the University of Leeds. His books include Machiavelli, a Times Literary Supplement "Book of the Year."
