DESCRIPTION
Intended for both general readers and students, Peter Riesenberg's
instructive book surveys Western ideas of citizenship from Greek
antiquity to the French Revolution. It is striking to observe the
persistence of important civic ideals and institutions over a
period of 2,500 years and to learn how those ideals and
institutions traveled over space and time, from the ancient
Mediterranean to early modern France, England, and America.
