A History of Political Thought, 1st Edition

“These volumes cover the scholarship of the last four decades with considerable care and in an impeccably cosmopolitan manner…in its second volume, the best single-volume history of medieval political thought to put into the hands of any intelligent and serious student…Coleman’s History is a fine achievement and of clear use value throughout. It breathes the spirit of a very different epoch, while providing help for all of us who must deal, in our respective roles, with the ideas that it chronicles.” John Dunn, University of Cambridge.
