Book Synopsis
Annabel Brett's authoritative rendition of the Defensor Pacis was the first new translation in English for fifty years of this classic of western political thought, and includes a chronology, notes for further reading, and up-to-date annotation aimed at the student reader encountering this major text for the first time.

Trade Review
'The lucid an readable translation, along with the informative and often insightful annotations and a comprehensive bibliography, promises to produce a new generation of students who are fascinated by this remarkably idiosyncratic political text.' Journal of Ecclesiastical History
'Brett's version of the Defensor sufficiently improves on Gewirth's that it promises to become the standard English translation for the foreseeable future.' Political Studies Review
