Reflections on the Rise and Fall of the Ancient RepublicsAuthor :
Paperback
Published : Thursday 30 April 2015
Description
In 1759, at the height of the Seven Years War, when Great Britain was suffering a series of military reversals, Montagu considered his countrys plight in an historical contect formed by the study of five ancient republics: Sparta, Athens, Thenes, Carthage and Rome. Montagus focus on the ancient republics gives his contribution a distinctive twist to the chorus of voices lamenting Britains decline, and his analysis exerted influence in three momentous eighteenth-century crises: the Seven Years War, the American War of Independence, and the French Revolution. This is the first modern edition of Montagus work.
