This is the first English edition of a treatise that influenced French thinkers from its publication in 1610 until the end of the ancien régime. In his Treatise of Orders and Plain Dignities， Charles Loyseau set out to harmonize with law his fellow citizens' values and behavior in the crucial sphere of possession and exercise of public power. The introduction to this edition sets this important text in the context of Loyseau's own political thesis and the intellectual milieu of those who administered early-modern France."This first-ever English-language edition of a once-celebrated work by a contemporary of Jean Bodin is a valuable contribution to the Skinnerian project of filling in the intellectual valleys separating the 'peaks' of Plato and Aristotle， Augustine and Aquinas， Hobbes and Locke， Rousseau and Kant， and Hegel and Marx."

News from Nowhere（1890）is the most famous work of one of the greatest British writers and thinkers，William Morris.It is a utopoian picture of a future communist society，drawing on the worh of Ruskin and Marx and written in response to what Morris saw as soulless and mechanical visions of sovialism.In this work of his last years，Morris distilled many of his leading ideas on politics，art and society，imagining a world in which capitalism has been abolished by a works’revolution and nature and society have become beautiful habitations for hunmanity.In an era that has seen the collapse of state socialism，Morris's　damning critique of this conception，and his positing of a powerful alternative，are compelling reasons for paying attention to this coassic of British socislism.

This is a major new English-language edition of one of the central texts in the history of political thought， presenting students with the most accurate and accessible translation yet of Machiavelli’s famous treatise.In his introduction to Russell Price’s translation， Quentin Skinner presents a lucid analysis of The Prince， seeing the text both as a commentary upon the immediate world of Florentine politics， and as a response to the genre of advice-books for princes published by a number of Machiavelli’s contemporaries. Emphasising the specific message of warning beneath its surface generalities， Professor Skinner examines the intellectual context of The Prince， and highlights Machialvelli’s repudiation of Renaissance moralism and its classical antecedentsNumerous aids for the student reader are provided， including brief biographies of persons mentioned in the text and notes on Machiavelli’s sometimes problematic vocabulary， as well as a chronology of important events and a guide to further reading.

First published（in Latin）in 1516，Thomas Mores Utopia is one of the most influenial books in the Wetem philosophical and literary tradition and one of the supreme achievements of Renaissance humanism.More coined the word ‘utopia’（from the Greek：‘no place’），and his complexly ironic account of an imaginary communist society not only has given rise to the genre of utopian fiction but has been an inspiration to generations of political reformers.After nearly five centuries Utopia continues to provoke intense interest and lively debate among students and scholars.For publication in the Cambridge Texts series the editors have inchuded all the ancillary materials that were inchuded，at Mores behest，in the early editions （encompassing letters and poems on Utopia by More and several of his humanist associates）.The text of Utopia itself is a new version of the highly regarded translation by Robert M.Adams，and the introductory materials and annotations incorporate much important recent scholarship.This edition also inchudes a brief bibliography and chrronology，intended to assist the student encountering this celebrated text for the first time.
