Poets, Politics & Philosophy brings influential public-domain texts into conversation with the present. Each volume combines the original work with historical context, editorial commentary, philosophical analysis and a modern response.
Each book first establishes what the author argued and the conditions in which the work appeared. It then tests the argument, examines later evidence and reaches a reasoned judgement about what remains relevant today.
