Montesquieu and the Spirit of Rome argues that the
eighteenth-century French author Charles-Louis de Secondat, Baron
de La Brede et de Montesquieu (1689-1755) developed a novel,
comprehensive account of Roman history that framed his new
political science and grounded his political teachings. Rome's
legacy in early-modern thought turns on the work of Montesquieu,
and through Rome Montesquieu articulated the strengths and
weaknesses of the modern state-the moderation that can distinguish
it and sources of extremism that must haunt it. This book is the
first to unify Montesquieu's Roman thoughts; it is the first to
reconstruct the Rome that was one of his most powerful legacies in
the 18th and 19th centuries. Montesquieu and the Spirit of Rome
restores Rome to its proper place at the peak of Montesquieu's
thought and Montesquieu's thought to its proper place in the
history of classical study. It treats Montesquieu as what he
claimed to be-a jurist, a poet, a historian, and a political writer
of the first rank, and it revives his hard-nosed defence of
moderation.
