Monarchy
by Dante Alighieri
This is the first new translation for forty years of a fascinating work of political theory. Dante's Monarchy addresses the fundamental question of what form of political organization best suits human nature. It embodies a political vision of startling originality and power, and illuminates the intellectual interests and achievements of one of the world's great poets.
Prue Shaw's translation is accompanied by a full introduction and notes, which provide a complete guide to the text, and which place Monarchy in the context of Dante's life and work.
