“Scholarly interest in Montesquieu, the eighteenth-century French political thinker, has blossomed over the last 20 years. In addition to further analyzing his longstanding link to the American Founders, scholars have looked to him for thoughts on international relations, despotism, and the relationship between culture and law. In line with that renewed interest, Anthem Press has recently released a new translation and commentary on Montesquieu’s magnum opus, The Spirit of the Laws, from William B. Allen. Allen, who served under the Reagan and Bush administrations and has published extensively on the American founding, certainly did not need to publish this translation and commentary out of any professional need. Instead, his work exudes not just intellectual curiosity but also personal love for the subject.” (10/02/24)
