A superb overview of pivotal Renaissance philosopher, writer and historian Machiavelli.

'Machiavellian' can signify duplicity and amorality in politics, but Machiavelli himself is far more complex than this cliche. 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.

Robert Black is Professor Emeritus of Renaissance History at the University of Leeds. His books include Machiavelli (2013), which was a Times Literary Supplement 'Book of the Year'.
