description: Situates the literary within the range of cultural discourses available to the Italian political philosopher Machiavelli (1469-1527), and locates him in an evolving history of disciplines and modes of writing during the early modern period. The 11 essays, some previously published, explore Machiavelli as a man of letters, his opinion about literature, and literary and rhetorical interpretations of his work.
