After Machiavelli is an examination of the triangular relationship of re-writing a dynamic process encompassing both creative newness and awareness of historical profundity the hermeneutic attitude:' and Machiavelli's poiesis. Specifically, it addresses four questions: First, to what degree can we speak of intersection (interaction) among this triad? Second, what common ground do all three actually share? Third, in what particular manner do the act of re-writing and the hermeneutic attitude manifest themselves in the writings of Niccoli Machiavelli? And last, what bearing does this have on the reader, heir to Machiavelli's literary legacy?
Barbara Godorecci, University of Alabama, has published on Machiavelli, contemporary poetry, and critical theory.
Godorecci has cogently demonstrated both [her method's] validity and its usefulness as a critical tool. The book is a contribution to Machiavelli studies primarily for the fresh approach with which she takes the reader through uncharted critical 'roadways.'"-Renaissance Quarterly
