Exploring republican ideas and concepts that developed in
sixteenth-century Poland under the impact of humanism and the
Renaissance, as well as political and constitutional changes, this
is a landmark study of republican discourse in sixteenth-century
Poland-Lithuania. It provides a conceptual and contextual analysis
of the rich political literature and debate which animated
intellectual life and political reasoning during the
Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, and effectively demonstrates its
republican character. Using a comparative perspective, Dorota
Pietrzyk-Reeves situates the Polish republican discourse within
both the classical and early modern republican traditions, bringing
together contexts and ideas that have traditionally been overlooked
by scholars of early modern Europe. In addition, she also
underlines the originality of Polish concepts such as the
relationship between law, liberty and virtue as key elements of a
well-ordered commonwealth and the vision of a mixed res publica
that had a monarchical character. This book is an invaluable
resource for anyone interested in European intellectual history and
the early modern republican tradition.
