A two-volume study of Political Thought from the late thirteenth to the end of the sixteenth century, the decisive period of transition from medieval to Modern Political theory.
Quentin Skinner gives an outline account of all the principal texts of the period, discussing in turn the chief Political writings of Dant.
The work is intended to be both an introduction to the period for students, and a presentation and justification of a particular approach to the interpretation of historical texts.
