The Counter-Reformation Prince: Anti-Machiavellianism or Catholic Statecraft in Early Modern Europe

by Robert Bireley

Book Overview

Bireley explores the anti-Machavellian tradition of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Europe and the writers who cultivated it, including Giovanni Botero and Justus Lipsius. The tradition produced an international political literature that is immensely important for understanding the Counter-Reformation, Baroque culture, and early modern politics and diplomacy.

Originally published in 1990.
