An excellent addition to the Clarendon Aristotle Series ... Compared to some other recent and/or widely read translations of the Politics, Keyt's is among those that stuck closest to the Greek text, and is better than the rest when considering (as we should) both readability and accuracy.

The Philosophical Review

Keyt's translation is excellent both in accuracy and fluency. The commentary is comprehensive. Keyt explores the meaning of the text, probes the logic of arguments, supplies the linguistic and cultural context, explains the known historical references, and cites relevant parallel texts of Aristotle ... This series of translations and commentaries is likely to remain the standard for a long time.
