Legal and political theorist, common lawyer and parliamentary
leader, historian and polyglot, John Selden (1584-1654) was a
formidable figure in Renaissance England, whose real importance and
influence are now being recognized once again. John Selden and the
Western Political Tradition highlights his important role in the
development of such early modern political ideas as modern natural
law and natural rights, national identity and tradition, the
political integration of church and state, and the effect of Jewish
ideas on Western political thought. Selden's political ideas are
analysed in the context of his contemporaries Grotius, Hobbes and
Filmer. The book demonstrates how these ideas informed and
influenced more familiar works of later thinkers like Burke.
