The first comprehensive exposition of the work of one of the most important intellectual historians and political theorists writing today.
Demonstrates that Skinner's treatment of political theory as a dimension of political life marks a revolutionary move in the historical as well as the philosophical study of political thought.
Charts Skinner's work from the early 1960s right up to the present, including his most recent studies in the theory of persuasive speech.
Organized around five major themes: history, linguistic action, political thought, liberty and rhetoric.
Pays particular attention to Skinner's work in relation to that of continental thinkers, especially Max Weber and Reinhart Koselleck
