This remarkable expression of radical republican thought has never
before been published. Algernon Sidney was among the most
unrelenting partisans of the parliamentary party during the
Commonwealth, and died on the scaffold in 1683 for his opposition
to Charles II. Sidney's voluminous Discourses Concerning Government
was published after his death, but the earlier and more vivid Court
Maxims was only recently rediscovered in a manuscript in Warwick
Castle. Written during Sidney's continental exile, Court Maxims is
of the greatest importance for the study of the international
ramifications of seventeenth-century republican thought. Its
dialogue structure presents a lively discussion about the
principles of government and the practice of politics, articulating
a vital tradition of republicanism in an age of absolutism. These
characteristics make Court Maxims a unique text, essential reading
for anyone interested in republicanism or early modern political
thought.
