Discourses on Livy is the founding document of modern republicanism,
and Harvey C. Mansfield and Nathan Tarcov have provided the definitive
English translation of this classic work. Faithful to the original
Italian text, properly attentive to Machiavelli's idiom and subtlety
of thought, it is eminently readable. With a substantial introduction,
extensive explanatory notes, a glossary of key words, and an annotated
index, the Discourses reveals Machiavelli's radical vision of a new
science of politics, a vision of "new modes and orders" that continue
to shape the modern ethos. "[Machiavelli] found in Livy the means to
inspire scholars for five centuries. Within the Discourses, often
hidden and sometimes unintended by their author, lie the seeds of
modern political thought. . . . [Mansfield and Tarcov's] translation
is careful and idiomatic."—Peter Stothard, The Times "Translated
with painstaking accuracy—but also great readability."—Weekly
Standard "A model of contemporary scholarship and a brave effort at
Machiavelli translation that allows the great Florentine to speak in
his own voice."—Choice
