Volney: ‘The Ruins' and ‘Catechism of Natural Law' - Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought
Constantin Volney
A fresh modern translation of a major French Revolutionary text, whose arguments for popular sovereignty are couched in the form of an Oriental dream-tale. This is a forgotten bestseller in the history of political thought which was translated by Thomas Jefferson and hugely influenced radical poets from Shelley to Whitman.
