Review # 1 was written on 2018-01-24 00:00:00 Carlo Marano A superb collection of essays on Skinner's definitive Foundations of Modern Political Thought which not only provides insight in how the scholarship has progressed since Foundations but also offers the historical context surrounding its production. An extremely helpful narrative describing the shifts in the scholarship of intellectual political history while also offering a thorough bibliography of significant sources tied to the historiographical discourse on modern political thought. This is an essential companion for reading the Foundations.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-09-28 00:00:00 Jamie Jonasson The two stars is mainly due, as others have stated, to the fact this was rather dated. Many of us who lived through the 80s can find enjoyable nostalgia, but there was a lot of cultural horror, too. I read the updated (still dated) version, which extends the articles enclosed to the far-flung year of 1998. My favourite article was the final one in which Susie gives a blistering reply to a call-in she received on Dan Savage's "Love Live" radio program. The caller questioned her right to consider herself a "lesbian sex expert" when she had "been a bisexual breeder for years". Fuck it. I'm adding another star for that article alone.
