About
Peter Stacey (Ph.D. University of Cambridge, UK) is an Associate Professor of History at UCLA. He studies European intellectual history from the medieval to the early modern period, with a principal focus on the development of Renaissance political thought between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries. As an historian of the Renaissance, he is interested in ancient Greco-Roman philosophy, politics, and literature, and has published work on Roman political theory in this field. His research mainly concentrates on the revival of classical ideas and how they informed intellectual life and political government in and around the Italian peninsula from approximately 1200 to 1600. His first book, Roman Monarchy and the Renaissance Prince (Cambridge University Press, 2007), explores the impact of Seneca’s political philosophy on Renaissance theories of monarchy. His second book addresses Machiavelli’s philosophy of the state, further contributing to the understanding of Renaissance political thought and its classical influences.
