註釋Covering Dante to Flaubert, this book examines the hostility in Europe between writers and authority. It demonstrates how great authors conveyed their heterodox views despite censure and severe punishments. Especially interesting is a discussion of Machiavelli's minor works which reveal a man with an unshakable concern for the same themes analyzed in his major treatises, the Prince and Discourses on Livy.
