Machiavelli is history's most startling political commentator.
Recent interpreters have minimised his originality, but this book
restores his radicalism. Robert Black shows a clear development in
Machiavelli's thought. In his most subversive works: The Prince,
the Discourses on Livy, The Ass and Mandragola he rejected the
moral and political values inherited by the Renaissance from
antiquity and the middle ages. These outrageous compositions were
all written in mid-life, when Machiavelli was a political outcast
in his native Florence. Later he was reconciled with the Florentine
establishment, and as a result his final compositions including his
famous Florentine Histories' represent a return to more
conventional norms. This lucid work is perfect for students of
Medieval and Early Modern History, Renaissance Studies and Italian
Literature, or anyone keen to learn more about one of history's
most potent, influential and arresting writers.
