Recenzii
For the many historians whose research touches on Bodin, this will be their bible. For the uninitiated, it will prove a challenge well worth the recompense.
Lloyd's book is destined long to remain a fundamental point of reference for anyone concerned with Bodin in particular or more generally with the history of political thought in the modern era. Its author's careful and profound knowledge enables him to advance a rounded interpretation of the distinctive character of Bodin's thought, treating each work as a tessera in an abundant mosaic
Howell A. Lloyd offers a comprehensive survey of the life and work of the sixteenth-century French prose writer and political thinker Jean Bodin ... The stated ambition of his new work is to fill a gap in a field of scholarship characterized by "both the proliferation of narrowly focused discussions and the relative absence of comprehensive studies" ... I think we can credit the author with having kept his word and provided the missing monograph on Bodin.
a learned, elegant work ... [it] will be a key reference for scholars in as many disciplines as Bodin himself sought to master.
Lloyd illuminates and unravels the intellectual development of one of France's most enigmatic figures ... Lloyd is more than well-armed to undertake and deliver such an important text. Given its interdisciplinary span, this text will be of interest to scholars, researchers and students in a range of disciplines including, but not limited to, early modern social, political and economic history, French history, political and religious philosophy, and the history of ideas in sixteenth century Europe.
It is a rare pleasure to read a book written with such clarity and elegance.
[A] splendid introduction at a high level for graduate students and professionals... Highly recommended.

Notă biografică
Married with five children, Howell A. Lloyd is a graduate of the universities of Wales and Oxford. In the course of a career which culminated in ten years' service as pro-vice-chancellor and deputy vice-chancellor at the University of Hull, he has taught and researched an unusually wide variety of historical subjects. His publications - monographs, edited works, and numerous essays - deal with topics in late-medieval and early-modern British and European history that range from social and economic questions to military affairs, from constitutional and governmental structures to political ideas, from mathematics to historiography itself. He is therefore especially well-equipped for the study of the subject of the present book, the prolific and many-sided scholar, Jean Bodin.
