A Great and Wretched City: Promise and Failure in Machiavelli’s Florentine Political Thought - I Tatti Studies in Italian Renaissance History
Mark Jurdjevic
Dispelling the myth that Florentine politics offered only negative lessons, Mark Jurdjevic shows that significant aspects of Machiavelli's political thought were inspired by his native city. Machiavelli's contempt for Florence's shortcomings was a direct function of his considerable estimation of the city's unrealized political potential.
