Review Quotes:
`This is an anthology of important works that reveals the development of political ideas between the eleventh and fifteenth centuries. Here you will find familiar writers - Glanville, Aquinas, Dante, Marsiglio of Padua - but also the unfamiliar, including women writers like Christine de Pizan and Marie de France. The sources are prefaced by an excellent introduction.' - Teaching History
