- Book Synopsis
- 'Machiavellian' can signify duplicity and amorality in politics, but Machiavelli himself is far more complex than this cliché. A high-ranking Florentine government official and prolific writer of hugely influential political, military and historical works, Machiavelli was also a vernacular poet, first-rank dramatist and religious radical, rejecting not only the contemporary Catholic Church but Christianity itself. From champion of Florentine popular republicanism to political radical to conservative, Robert Black explores the many faces of the man described as the father of modern political philosophy and political science.
- About The Author
- Robert Black is Professor Emeritus of Renaissance History at the University of Leeds. His books include Machiavelli (2013), a Times Literary Supplement 'Book of the Year'.
