Political writings

Mary Astell (Creator), Patricia Springborg
The writings of Mary Astell (1666–1731) are a remarkable contribution to the constitutional debates of the time. Astell's political pamphlets have never been reprinted in their entirety. This new edition makes accessible three major works by an important political theorist.
