Sovereignty and the Sword: Harrington, Hobbes, and Mixed Government in the English Civil Wars (Oxford Historical Monographs) - Hardcover
Synopsis
This book places the political thought of mid-seventeenth-century England within the context of the English civil wars and offers fresh insights into the principles on which two of the great figures of political thought, Thomas Hobbes and James Harrington, constructed their main arguments. Arihiro Fukuda shows Harrington to have been, no less than Hobbes, a theorist of absolute sovereignty. But where Hobbes repudiated the mixed governments of classical antiquity, Harrington was convinced that mixed government, far from being the enemy of absolute sovereignty, was its essential foundation. Fukuda shows how Harrington, in recasting Hobbes's thought, achieved an originality and profundity as striking as his rivals.

Review
"Fukuda displays historical and analytic acumen in a work that is admirably clear, concise and provocative."--Albion
"[I]t is a valuable contribution to understanding both thought and practice in English constitutionalism."--Seventeenth-Century News
"Arihiro Fukuda's book is everything that an historical monograph should be....written with a condensed and powerful precision, it has the capacity to stimulate and provoke. No words are wasted, and the effect is a book that is tightly-constructed and well-considered. It will be essential reading for scholars interested in English political ideas of the 1640s and 1650s."--Parliamentary History
