Description
Taking stock of thirty years of developments in the history of medieval and Renaissance political thought, the volume both celebrates and challenges the perspectives of a generation of scholars and offers refreshing new assessments enabling students an entry point to the complex historiography of medieval political thought and scholar with a fresh methodology.
The book examines some of the key debates in which historians of medieval and Renaissance political thought are now engaged including the impact of the Ciceronian and biblical traditions making it the perfect resource for students and scholars studying medieval and renaissance political thought and those wishing to understand the importance of medieval political thought in the wider historiography.
It outlines some of the important new interpretations in relation to problems such as periodization and the concept of toleration and suggests that understanding how western political ideas evolved is important to contextualising Europe within the emerging "global" Middles Ages. Enabling medieval students to see how political thought can support their studies on the global Middle Ages offering a different standpoint to the current competition.
