'Overall, this superb volume underscores how new nationalist beliefs absorbed and subsumed the republican tradition [...] the book can be fruitfully read by political theorists and intellectual historians alike for its erudite contents, and it is essential for scholars working on the republican tradition in early modern political thought.'British Journal of Eighteenth-Century Studies
