In this study the authors examine a range of theories about the state of nature in 17th- and 18th-century England, considering the contribution they made to the period's discourse on sovereignty and their impact on literary activity.

This book traces the crystallization of post-Marxism as a specific theoretical position in its own right. It examines the history of the development of the Marxist tradition as well as considering the school's future prospects.
