Lawson's Politica is a systematic treatise on politics in church
and state, and is arguably the most significant work of political
theory to have been printed during the Restoration crisis of
1659-60. The work was widely discussed during the seventeenth
century and its conceptual vocabulary applied in discussions of the
Revolution of 1688-9, when it was also posthumously republished.
Despite Lawson's fame, however, his work fell into relative
obscurity during the eighteenth century but it has recently been
the subject of renewed scholarly interest. Politica has been
reassessed as both historically and theoretically significant, and
Lawson's contextual and interpretative importance emphasised, as a
writer who enriches our understanding of Hobbes and Locke. This new
modern edition is the first to be based on, and to correct, the
rare and badly printed edition of 1660 and the partially corrected
edition of 1689. Containing full scholarly apparatus, it is
designed to make this significant work accessible to students as
well as specialists through a substantial introduction and notes,
contextual material and bibliographical guide.
