Review Quotes:
"A fresh translation of a challenging and overlooked work, accompanied by a perceptive and clear introduction that provides a nimble synthesis of the work's historical and political contexts. . . . Viko has the potential to become a regular feature of syllabi for years to come." --Tobias Warner, University of California, Davis
