Praise for the previous edition
“Lord’s translation is clearly the best available.”
— Claremont Review of Books
“This revised edition of Aristotle’s 'Politics' easily establishes it as the best available in English. By offering a longer introductory essay that grapples with the substance of Aristotle’s argument, a new index, revamped notes, and—most important—by revising and correcting the text, Carnes Lord has substantially improved what was already a fine rendering of Aristotle’s classic account of political science. A great service to students and scholars alike.”
— Robert C. Bartlett, cotranslator of Aristotle’s “Nicomachean Ethics”
"This new edition of Lord's will continue to be a widely used translation of Aristotle's Politics."
— Bryn Mawr Classical Review
“Lord contributed to raising scholarly interest in Aristotle with his groundbreaking translation. Now, nearly thirty years later, we are presented with a new edition. . . . The new format was chosen prudently. . . . The choice of footnotes will doubtless help students, scholars, and interested readers to solve the problems of textual analysis and interpretation more quickly and in the process of reading the text."
