This pioneering and innovative study challenges modern assumptions
of what constitutes the political and the public in Renaissance
thought. Offering gendered readings of a wide array of fifteenth-
and sixteenth-century political thinkers, with a particular focus
on the two prime thinkers of the early modern state, Niccolo
Machiavelli and Jean Bodin, Anna Becker reconstructs a neglected
but important classical tradition in political thought. Exploring
how 'the political' was incorporated into a wide array of 'private'
or 'apolitical' topics by early modern thinkers, Becker
demonstrates how both republican and absolutist thinkers - the two
poles which organise early modern political thought - relied on
gendered justifications. In doing so, she reveals how the
foundations of the modern state were significantly shaped by
gendered concerns.
