W.W. Norton & Company/Viva Books, 2010. 2nd edition. Softcover. New. .. .. Robert M. Adams’s superb translation of Machiavelli’s best-known work is again the basis for this Norton Critical Edition. Accurate and highly readable, this translation, thoroughly revised for the Second Edition, renders Machiavelli’s 1513 political tract in clear and concise English. "Backgrounds" relies entirely upon Machiavelli’s other writings to place this central Florentine in the proper political and historical context. Included are excerpts from The Discourses, a report from a diplomatic mission, a collection of private letters, and two poems from Carnival Songs. "Interpretations" retains three of the previous edition’s seminal essays while adding five new selections by Felix Gilbert, Federico Chabod, J. H. Whitefield, Isaiah Berlin, and Robert M. Adams. "Marginalia" is an eclectic collection of writings germane to both Machiavelli and The Prince. Of the eight selections represented, five are new, including Pasquale Villari’s comic portrayal of Machiavelli’s first diplomatic post in 1499, Francesco Guicciardini’s lofty rebuttal to Machiavelli, and a collection of "Tuscan Sayings" to further the reader’s understanding of this timeless text. The "Selected Bibliography" has been thoroughly updated.
