Machiavellian Rhetoric argues in contrast that Renaissance readers were right to see Machiavelli as a Machiavel, a figure of force and fraud, rhetorical cunning and deception. Taking the rhetorical Machiavel as a point of departure, Victoria Kahn argues that this figure is not simply the result of a naive misreading of Machiavelli but is attuned to the rhetorical dimension of his political theory in a way that later thematic readings of Machiavelli are not. Her aim is to provide a revised history of Renaissance Machiavellism, particularly in England: one that sees the Machiavel and the republican as equally valid--and related--readings of Machiavelli's work.<br><br><br>In this revised history, Machiavelli offers a rhetoric for dealing with the realm of de facto political power, rather than a political theory with a coherent thematic content; and Renaissance Machiavellism includes a variety of rhetorically sophisticated appreciations and appropriations of Machiavelli's own rhetorical approach to politics. Part I offers readings of The Prince, The Discourses, and Counter-Reformation responses to Machiavelli. Part II discusses the reception of Machiavelli in sixteenth-and seventeenth-century England. Part III focuses on Milton, especially Areopagitica, Comus, and Paradise Lost.</p>", "author": "Victoria Kahn", "slug": "machiavellian-rhetoric-504378-9781400821280-victoria-kahn", "thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/9781400821280.jpg", "default_thumbnail_image": "//redshelf-images.s3-external-1.amazonaws.com/thumbnail/default_book_thumbnail.jpg", "product_type": "book", "product_id": "504378", "product_url": "/app/ecom/book/504378/machiavellian-rhetoric-504378-9781400821280-victoria-kahn", "bisac_codes": [ "HIS037020", "NHDL" ], "items_count": null, "identifiers": { "ISBN13": "9780691034911", "EISBN13": "9781400821280", "EISBN10": "1400821282" }, "drm": null, "cover_image": null, "default_cover_image": null, "book_type": null }, "relationships": { "lowest_offering": { "data": { "type": "offerings", "id": "00010030543826" } } } }, { "type": "Product", "id": "00010000504377", "attributes": { "name": "Enough to Say It's Far", "subtitle": "Selected Poems of Pak Chaesam", "description": "<p>This is the first English translation of selected poems by one of the most important and unusual modern poets of South Korea.
