Three Renaissance Classics with Introduction and Notes by Burton A. Milligan.
The Prince, Utopia, and The Courtier, three of the most important books in Renaissance literature, were all written during the first third of the sixteenth century. Together, they show us the Renaissance in its many-sidedness. Machiavelli, More, and Castiglione looked upon the same European scene, in which tyranny, conquest, and political treachery were common.
With all of their differences and incompatibilities in religion and ethics, the three writers were alike in their free inquiry into truth and their departure from narrow authoritarianism; attitudes of mind which lead them to arrive at various concepts new to the world and of continuing interest to it.
