Great and Wretched City [EPUB ebook]
Promise and Failure in Machiavelli s Florentine Political Thought

Cover of Mark Jurdjevic: Great and Wretched City (ePUB)

Machiavelli’s contempt for Florence’s shortcomings was a direct function of his considerable estimation of the city’s unrealized political potential.
