Reviews

'Max Skj�nsberg has situated the work of Catharine Macaulay within a significantly remapped domain of political thought, broadened not only to rectify the exclusion of women, but also ... to include a critic of 'revolution principles' whose m�tier was primarily historical not philosophical.' London Review of Books 'Skj�nsberg's welcome edition of the Political writings is the first modern version of Macaulay's work. It has the potential to stimulate more research on Macaulay and to make her more teachable, thereby returning her to her rightful place in the history of political thought. The book is historically rich, meticulously selected and carefully introduced to the reader. It will be a valuable tool for both new and long-time students of Macaulay. Given her extensive oeuvre, Skj�nsberg's process of editorial selection is highly impressive.' Geertje Bol, Times Literary Supplement
