商品簡介
Machiavelli continues to influence politics, government, literature, drama and even art, and it is as difficult to pin him into one disciplinary framework as it is to find consensus about his content. These 16 essays allow for Machiavelli's authority across many lines of study, including those of government and society, and comment upon his reception from his time to our own. Contributors offer a new introduction to The Prince and new thinking about it as text, commentary on preserving a free way of life, and Machiavelli's uses of and for rhetoric and prudence. Other topics include Machiavellian approaches to women, masculinity, the stage, mayhem and sex, imprudence, Machiavelli's ongoing appeal and a very interesting piece on Shakespeare's Machiavellian muses.
