The volume includes an updated timeline of key events in Machiavelli’s life and an enlarged, fully updated bibliography. Editorial components such as translator notes, text commentary, and supporting materials help situate the work within its historical context.","CAMBRIDGE TEXTS IN THE HISTORY OF POLITICAL THOUGHT  \nMACHIAVELLI  \nThe Prince  \nSecond Edition  \nThis new edition of the acclaimed translation of Niccolò Machiavelli’s The Prince – revised for the first time after 30 years – includes a rewritten and extended introduction by Quentin Skinner. Niccolò Machiavelli is arguably the most famous and controversial figure in the history of political thought. The Prince remains his best-known work, and throws down a challenge that subsequent writers on statecraft and political morality have found impossible to ignore. Quentin Skinner’s introduction offers a lucid analysis of Machiavelli’s text both as a response to the world of Florentine politics and as a critical engagement with the classical and Renaissance genre of advice-books for princes.  \nThis edition also features an improved timeline of key events in Machiavelli’s life, helping the reader place the work in the context of its time, in addition to an enlarged and fully updated bibliography.  \nQuentin Skinner is the Barber Beaumont Professor of the Humanities at Queen Mary University of London.  \nRussell Price, who died in 2011, was Senior Lecturer in Politics at the University of Lancaster  \nCAMBRIDGE TEXTS IN THE HISTORY OF POLITICAL THOUGHT  \nGeneral Editor  \nQUENTIN SKINNER  \nBarber Beaumont Professor of the Humanities, Queen Mary University of London  \nEditorial Board  \nMICHAEL COOK  \nProfessor of Near Eastern Studies, Princeton University  \nGABRIEL PAQUET TE  \nDean of the Clark Honors College, University of Oregon  \nANDREW SARTORI  \nProfessor of History, New York University  \nHIL DE DE WEE RDT  \nProfessor of Chinese History, Leiden University  \nCambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought is firmly established asthe major student series of texts in political theory. It aims to make available all the most important texts in the history of political thought, from ancient Greece to the twentieth century, from throughout the world and from every political tradition. All the familiar classic texts are included, but the series seeks at the same time to enlarge the conventional canon through a global scope and by incorporating an extensive range of less well known works, many of them never before available in a modern English edition, and to present the history of political thought in a comparative, international context. Where possible, the texts are published in complete and unabridged form, and translations are specially commissioned for the series. However, where appropriate, especially for non-Western texts, abridged or tightly focused and thematic collections are offered instead. Each volume contains a critical introduction, together with chronologies, biographical sketches, a guide to further reading, and any necessary glossaries and textual apparatus. Overall, the series aims to provide the reader with an outline of the entire evolution of international political thought.  \nFor a list of titles published in the series, please see end of book.
