This translation . . . of Machiavelli's thoughts on his native city
is meant to be less colloquial and closer to the original than the
typical translation. This highlights how Machiavelli used words
(and thought) differently from us. . . . Machiavelli is too often
remembered merely as the realist who took the morality out of
virtue.' As the Histories demonstrate, he was also a gifted writer
and historian.--Virginia Quarterly ReviewBanfield and Mansfield's
new rendition of the Renaissance humanist's study of Florentine
history aims to supply contemporary readers with a literal, exact,
and readable version of the original. . . . Machiavelli's concept
of history and his purpose in charting the story of Florence and
its leading families are thoroughly examined before the translators
lead their readers into the substance of the social philosopher's
arguments and into a work of literature that once again comes
alive.--Booklist
