First published in 1950, this translation by the late Leslie J. Walker provides an English language version of this seminal work in political theory. In his introduction, Father Walker explains under what conditions Machiavelli came to formulate his theory and examines the postulates upon which Machiavelli's new method was based, analyzing both the writings concerned with virtu and the conflict between morality and political interest.
