Publisher's Note
As contemporary scholarship revives interest in the "Discourses" as a founding document of modern republicanism, the need for a definitive English edition has never been greater. Harvey C. Mansfield and Nathan Tarcov have provided just that: a translation faithful to the original Italian text, properly attentive to Machiavelli's idiom and subtlety of thought, yet eminently readable. The translators' substantial introduction offers a powerful appreciation of the author and his work. The scholarly apparatus is exemplary, providing more extensive explanatory notes than previous translations, a glossary of key words with occurrences and alternate translations, and an annotated biographical and geographical index.

The Discourses reveal Machiavelli's radical vision of a new science of politics, a vision of 'new modes and orders' that continue to shape the modern ethos. This authoritative edition will surely become an invaluable resource as well as an impetus to wider study of this classic text.

Industry Reviews
"This is the definitive translation of what is surely the most underappreciated masterpiece of modern political philosophy. Mansfield and Turcov have made Machiavelli's careful and subtle prose truly accessible for English-speaking readers for the first time, and in a form which is exemplary for texts of this kind."
ad - Carnes Lord

"[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."
Times (London) - Peter Stothard
