Critical Acclaim
‘In most respects this is a superb collection of key papers, published over the last century or so, interpreting the classic texts of political theory. The selection can hardly be faulted: nearly all the landmark work is represented and the central issues are all covered. With more than two dozen papers in most volumes, this is a valuable aid to both research and teaching. . . . The volumes are very well bound.’
– Alistair Edwards, Political Studies
‘These volumes are an intellectual feast, a great banquet of interpretations and arguments rich enough to sate the most gluttonous. Ten thinkers dealt with in twenty-one volumes, 11,947 pages, close on 5 million words – fifty-nine articles on Locke, fifty-four on Aristotle, seventy-six on Hobbes. Who could ask for more? Who, in fact, could reasonably have asked for so much? The quantity is awesome, and the quality is quite remarkable. John Dunn and Ian Harris have set out to provide a comprehensive collection of the very best secondary articles on their chosen authors.’
