This new edition of the acclaimed translation of Niccolo
Machiavelli's The Prince - revised for the first time after thirty
years - includes a rewritten and extended introduction by Quentin
Skinner. Niccolo Machiavelli is arguably the most famous and
controversial figure in the history of political thought. The
Prince remains his best-known work, and throws down a challenge
that subsequent writers on statecraft and political morality have
found impossible to ignore. Quentin Skinner's introduction offers a
lucid analysis of Machiavelli's text both as a response to the
world of Florentine politics and as a critical engagement with the
classical and Renaissance genre of advice-books for princes. This
new edition also features an improved timeline of key events in
Machiavelli's life, helping the reader place the work in the
context of its time, in addition to an enlarged and fully updated
bibliography.

Appalachian genderqueer punk writer C. Russell Price's first
full-length poetry collection is a somatic grimoire exploring
desire, gender, and sexuality in multiverse littered with flowers
and product placement. Part pop culture bubblegum lip smack, part
battle cry, this collection asks, What is radical vengeance and
does true survivorship from sexual trauma exist only in fantasy, or
is it an attainable reality? Price's cinematic approach to language
and scene is on full display, as well as their dark humor and
resilience. Within these pages, the surreal is familiar and grief
is a national pastime. If the end is near, who among us would not
put on Fleetwood Mac? Who would not clean up their eyeliner just a
smidge? This collection pulses with the beat that follows
destruction (whether human or natural), the moment the jaw
unhinges. These poems are not for pearl clutchers. They are for
those who have already felt their private apocalypse.
