This comprehensive bibliographic guide to the books, monographs,
articles and editions, translations, reviews, and dissertations on
this important Renaissance writer provides the much-needed,
annotated research source for scholarship and criticism published
between 1935 and 1985. Research published after 1985 and available
in annotated or abstracted form through computer searches is cited
in an appendix. Annotations cover bibliographies, biographies,
general and specific criticism, and new primary materials. It is an
important and significant book, sure to provide scholars with a
guide through the Florentine secretary's writings for the next
several decades. Peter Bondanella Professor of Italian Studies,
Indiana University Those studying Niccolo Machiavelli have long
endured the unavailability of a single, complete, interdisciplinary
bibliographic guide to the vast number of books, articles, and
reviews on the Renaissance writer and thinker who profoundly
influenced the development of modern thought. This monumental
bibliography provides the much-needed and comprehensive annotated
research source for scholarship and criticism published on the
Florentine between 1935 and 1985. To make this reference as current
and complete as possible, an unannotated appendix cites research
published after 1985 that is available in annotated or abstracted
form through computer searches. Niccolo Machiavelli surpasses both
Norsa's extensive but unannotated bibliography covering the years
1740-1935 and Fido's more recent survey which omits many articles
and overlooks important studies in the social sciences especially
in the last thirty years. Using a systematic, uniform, and easily
accessible format, the volume, which covers more than 50 years of
Machiavelli criticism, presents complete descriptions of the works
with all bibliographic data. The descriptive summaries encompass
the entire range of modern critical and scholarly study in all
languages, including bibliographies, biographies, general and
specific criticism, and new primary materials such as manuscripts.
Included in this wealth of materials are books, monographs,
articles, editions, translations, reviews, and dissertations.
Arranged chronologically by year and alphabetically within each
year the bibliography's user-friendly format includes reviews
immediately following the documentation for the book or article in
question. Keyed to the annotations, four separate indices (author,
title, subject/name, and Machiavelli's works) enhance access to the
large and varied amount of work on Machiavelli. The volume will
implement the research efforts of both Machiavelli scholars and
those in related general and specific fields.
