The Discourses of Niccolo Machiavelli (Hardcover, New edition)

Father Leslie Walker's classic translation of Machiavelli's "Discourses" has long been acknowledged as the best available English language version of this seminal work in political theory. Yet it has been unavailable for several years. Much more than a translation, the introductory volume of "The Discourses of Machiavelli" is a landmark in literature. The second volume contains notes, tables, and indexes. Together, they comprise the fullest and probably the best scholarly edition in any language. "The Discourses of Machiavelli" will be a necessary addition to any library with an interest in Renaissance studies or political theory.
