{"product_id":"gendering-the-renaissance-commonwealth-anna-becker-9781108487054","title":"Gendering the Renaissance Commonwealth","description":"This pioneering and innovative study challenges modern assumptions of what constitutes the political and the public in Renaissance thought. Offering gendered readings of a wide array of fifteenth- and sixteenth-century political thinkers, with a particular focus on the two prime thinkers of the early modern state, Niccol  Machiavelli and Jean Bodin, Anna Becker reconstructs a neglected but important classical tradition in political thought. Exploring how 'the political' was incorporated into a wide array of 'private' or 'apolitical' topics by early modern thinkers, Becker demonstrates how both republican and absolutist thinkers - the two poles which organise early modern political thought - relied on gendered justifications. In doing so, she reveals how the foundations of the modern state were significantly shaped by gendered concerns.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Anna Becker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 110848705X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781108487054\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/02\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.20w x 0.70d","brand":"Anna Becker","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43924107002111,"sku":"9781108487054","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_6d81ee12-5163-46cd-8d9a-6c7d7cb7f2cb.jpg?v=1681068516","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/gendering-the-renaissance-commonwealth-anna-becker-9781108487054","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
