Focusing on the pivotal role of James Harrington in political theory, this volume features his key writings from the period of the Cromwellian Protectorate to the Restoration. His influential work, The Commonwealth of Oceana, presents a fictionalized account of English history and advocates for republicanism after the monarchy's fall. In A System of Politics, he builds on his earlier ideas to outline a comprehensive political philosophy. Professor Pocock's introduction highlights Harrington's significance in English political thought, complemented by a chronology of his life and further reading suggestions.
