Description

This book presents a comprehensive scholarly account of the development of European political thinking through the Renaissance and the reformation to the 'scientific revolution' and political upheavals of the seventeenth century. Recent decades have seen intensive historical investigation and reappraisal in this field and many established perspectives have changed. A highly distinguished team of contributors present a unique, authoritative guide to these developments.

Reviews

'A standing resource for early modern historians and students of political thought.' John Robertson, English Historical Review 'Few collective scholarly efforts are as successful as this, or are likely to persist as one of the books on early modern political thought that no scholar can afford to ignore.' Mark Hulling, American Historical Review
