Overview

This book presents a comprehensive scholarly account of the development of European political thinking through the Renaissance and the reformation to the 'scientific revolution' and political upheavals of the seventeenth century. Recent decades have seen intensive historical investigation and reappraisal in this field and many established perspectives have changed. A highly distinguished team of contributors present a unique, authoritative guide to these developments.
