MACHIAVELLI AND EMPIRE.

Description:

"Mikael Hornquist challenges us to rethink the overall meaning and importance of Machiavelli's political thinking. Machiavelli and Empire combines close textual analysis of The Prince and The Discourses with a broad historical approach, to establish the importance of empire-building and imperial strategy in Machiavelli's thought. This book makes a major contribution to our understanding of the Renaissance, and of the history of European ideas."--Jacket.
