The Prince: The Essential Quotes
The Prince, by Niccolo Machiavelli is one of the most influential books published during the Italian Renaissance. The work, an advice book to the Medici family on how to rule, is an example of the new values of humanism and secularism emerging during the Renaissance. I used to ask students to read this relatively brief work (127 or so pages) over the summer months. However, for the past 5 years, I wanted to make the course more inclusive to students. I stopped giving summer reading as a result.
