Discourses on Livy (Oxford World's Classics)


COPY LINK URL ON DESCRIPTION

Discourses on Livy, written in 1531, is as essential to an

understanding of Machiavelli as his famous treatise, The

Prince. Equally controversial, it reveals his fundamental

preference for a republican state. Comparing the practice of

the ancient Romans with that of his contemporaries provided

Machiavelli with a consistent point of view in all his works.

Machiavelli's close analysis of Livy's history of Rome led him to

advance his most original and outspoken view of politics--the

belief that ahealthy political body was characterized by social

friction and conflict rather than by rigid stability. His discussion

of conspiracies in Discourses on Livy is one of the most

sophisticated treatments of archetypal political upheaval ever

written. In an age of increasing political

absolutism,Machiavelli's theories became a dangerous

ideology. This new translation is richly annotated, providing the

contemporary reader with sufficient historical, linguistic, and

political information to understand and interpret the

revolutionary affirmations Machiavelli made, based on the

historical evidence he found in Livy.About the Series: For over

100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the

broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each

affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship,

providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other

valuable features, including expertintroductions by leading

authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date

bibliographies for further study, and much more.
