Placed on the Index of Prohibited Books by the Catholic Church in 1599, The Prince nevertheless proved to be the means by which Machiavelli came to be known throughout Europe, establishing his name as a byword for the cunning and unscrupulous politician. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten as the medieval world was giving way to the new dynamic of renaissance capitalism, The Prince embodies a whole series of vital issues that affect our understanding of modern politics, including power and morality, history and human nature, language and meaning, gender and government. It is these issues which the essays in this volume debate and explore from a variety of perspectives, from the original responses to The Prince through to feminist and deconstructive approaches. The result is a volume packed with ideas and insights. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith contributions by international scholars and critics, a chronological table and select bibliography, this is an essential guide for anyone studying Machiavelli.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Coyle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0719041961\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780719041969\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Manchester University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.52h x 5.43w x 0.72d","brand":"Martin Coyle","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982763163903,"sku":"9780719041969","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dc4a07e4-f918-41b7-8ae3-412cef1bab67.jpg?v=1683262902","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/niccolo-machiavellis-the-prince-martin-coyle-9780719041969","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
