Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Evil Lords uses the prism of bad rule or tyranny to enhance our understanding of political discourse from the ancient world to the Renaissance, elucidating premodern notions of sovereignty as well as the relation between ethics and politics, the individual and society, power, and propaganda. Eleven chapters present case studies exploring Hebrew, Graeco-Roman, Byzantine, early, high and late medieval, and Renaissance conceptions and representations of bad ortyrannical government. Since bad rule is always a perversion of the norm, its shifting conceptualizations shed light on historically specific assessments of what constitutes acceptable and legitimate politicalbehavior. Meanwhile, political debate also reflects specific power structures, authorial intent, and audience expectations. Each of the essays, therefore, examines bad rule and its agents within the ideological frameworks and societal patterns of the respective periods, thereby painting a picture of historical and intellectual change. Despite these often profound variations, however, the volume also shows that it is meaningful to think of a Western tradition of tyranny in the premodern worldthat derived from shared roots in Classical and biblical thought and was further defined by ongoing cross-fertilization spanning two millennia. Thus, Evil Lords offers scholars and students of Westernpolitical theory, history, and literature a critical framework through which to revisit the longue duree of premodern political reflection. By focusing on bad kingship, or tyranny, Evil Lords offers innovative insights into pre-modern conceptions of sovereignty, as well as into the relation between ethics and politics, individual and society, and power and propaganda, as elaborated in a number of different contexts, periods, and genres from Antiquity to the Renaissance.
