From an AI overview: "Tacitus in Renaissance Political Thought is a 1976 book by Kenneth C. Schellhase that analyzes how Renaissance thinkers used the Roman historian Tacitus, focusing on his cynical and realistic portrayal of power, corruption, and autocracy in the Roman Empire, particularly in works like The Annals and The Histories. The book examines how figures in Italy, Germany, and France adapted Tacitus's analysis of imperial power for their own political contexts, exploring themes of tyranny, morality, and the nature of rule. Key themes and focus Analysis of power: The book explores how Renaissance thinkers interpreted Tacitus as a guide to understanding the corrupting nature of absolute power and the complexities of imperial rule. Political application: It concentrates on authors who used Tacitus for explicit political purposes, rather than purely historical or philological ones. Key figures: Schellhase discusses thinkers like Bruni, Celtis, and Ulrich von Hutten, highlighting their engagement with Tacitus's ideas. Geographical scope: While emphasizing Italian, German, and French thinkers, the book also covers the legacy of Tacitus in Spain and England. About the author and publication Author: Kenneth C.
