"State and Commonwealth offers a stimulating and highly original rereading of English political thought from the reign of Edward VI to the onset of the Civil Wars. This quietly brilliant book takes readers to familiar texts by unfamiliar ways, linking social and intellectual history with great effect. Dauber treads an illuminating path entirely his own."--Annabel S. Brett, author of Changes of State: Nature and the Limits of the City in Early Modern Natural Law

"This attractively written book describes and analyzes the political thought of the 'commonwealth' tradition that flourished in England in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. State and Commonwealth is a significant contribution to the field. I know of no other book on the market like it."--J. P. Sommerville, author of Royalists and Patriots: Politics and Ideology in England, 1603-1640
