An exploration of Machiavelli's poetry, love affairs, friendships, and his preoccupation with truth and perception.
Who was Niccolo Machiavelli and why should we consider him relevant to the problems and vexations of the modern world? Stephen Bowd and Alexander Lee aim to 'defamiliarize' Machiavelli.
Given that he is so well known, if only by name, and the subject of such grave misconceptions and prejudice, the authors set out to explain why he is not the 'Machiavellian' figure he is supposed to be, and that he was not just a political thinker.
Examining his frequently bawdy poetry, his comedies and his love affairs and friendships, this book will lead modern readers on an exhilarating and thought-provoking journey through Machiavelli's mind, bringing him to life and illuminating why such a seminal thinker should be of urgent interest to us today.
