Reviews
"John Dunn's book is much more than a history of democratic ideas.... [It is] among the most original and thought-provoking books on politics to have been published in England for many years, written in a spare, incisive English style which at its best is worthy of Hobbes."-Jonathan Sumption, Spectator
"A marvellously rich book."-David Marquand, New Statesman
"Stimulating and deft.... An impressive and interesting book."-Andrew Roberts, Daily Telegraph
"John Dunn has given us a rare thing: an intellectually aristocratic book written for a profoundly democratic age."-Sunil Khilnani, Financial Times
"Dunn wears his erudition lightly and writes clearly and freshly about some of politics' most venerable questions.... Blows a gust of fresh air through the cobwebbed byways of political thought."-John Gray, Independent
