About this book
Patriarcha and Other Writings by Filmer, Robert. paperback edition. ISBN: 9780521399036.
This volume contains the political writings of Sir Robert Filmer (1588-1653), an acute defender of absolute monarchy and perhaps the most important patriarchal political theorist of the seventeenth century. The recent explosion of interest in womens history and the history of the family has greatly enhanced the audience for Filmers work, and in this new edition Johann Sommerville provides accurate and accessible texts of his principal writings, accompanied by all the standard series features, including a concise introduction, chronology, guide to further reading and notes on Filmers own text.
