Freedom
An Unruly History
Annelien de Dijn
In a masterful and surprising reappraisal of more than two thousand
years of thinking about freedom in the West, Annelien de Dijn argues
that we owe our view of freedom not to the liberty lovers of the Age
of Revolution but to the enemies of democracy.
“Ambitious and bold, this book will have an enormous impact on how
we think about the place of freedom in the Western tradition.”

Dante’s Bones
How a Poet Invented Italy
Guy P. Raffa
“Dante’s Bones is at once a vivid retelling of Dante’s fortunes
in the centuries following his death and an important work of
historical scholarship. Guy Raffa’s deft prose illuminates the
enduring contest over the great poet’s mortal remains, providing
a remarkable instance—by turns comical, deadly serious, and
always captivating—of the appropriation of literary genius for
political and cultural purposes.”
