These volumes offer the first comprehensive study of republicanism as a shared European heritage. Professors Skinner and van Gelderen have assembled an internationally distinguished set of contributors whose studies highlight the richness and diversity of European republican traditions. Volume I looks at anti-monarchism in Europe, humanist theories of citizenship, and the constitutional nature of the republic. Volume II is devoted to the study of key republican values — liberty, virtue, politeness, and toleration. It also addresses the role of women and the relationship between republicanism and the rise of a commercial society.
