This book presents a radical reinterpretation of the great medieval thinker, Marsilius of Padua. George Garnett's iconoclastic re-reading of Marsilius's work - based on a careful attention to the texts - overturns the widely accepted view of him as a secular political theorist and proponent of republicanism, and re-establishes him in his proper historical context.

Takashi Shogimen, Journal of Ecclesiastical History [An] ambitious and thought-provoking book.

J. Coleman, Times Literary Supplement George Garnett's book is enlightening and informative about what fourteenth-century thinkers were, in context, really discussing. It is also an often amusing retelling of an immensely complicated story ... Those readers who are already familiar with the historical and religious tensions of this period will find much to appreciate in Garnett's book.

Speculum As an introduction to the Defensor pacis for a beginning student of medieval history or as an eloquently argued and amply documented alternative view for a veteran in the history of political ideas, this book could hardly be bettered.

Jurgen Miethke, Francia-Recension Garnett has performed a superb service to the understanding of the Defensor Pacis, in that he has managed to put Marsilius's historical imagination and practice under the microscope.

English Historical Review Garnett has made a highly important contribution to the ongoing debate about how to interpret Marsilius and how to assess his significance.
