  • The Prince

It is this questionable belief that in many ways had lead to the modern world as we know it. His assertion was that the head ... Read more

It espouses the benefits of selfishness as a way of increasing economic prosperity -- a common enough idea today, but one that was so scandalous at the time of its publication that Mandeville was convicted by a grand jury and widely denounced by the most ...

  • Religio Medici and Urne-Buriall

    by Sir Thomas Browne ...

  • Timon of Athens

    by William Shakespeare ...
    Series series Folger Shakespeare Library
    The real Timon of Athens lived there in the fifth century BCE, making him a contemporary of Socrates and Pericles.

This makes him a more interesting character than the caricature he had become to Shakespeare’s contemporaries, for whom “Timonist” was a slang term for an ... Read more
