• Resumen

  • In promoting military appropriations by the Great Council of Florence in March, 1503, Niccold Machiavelli adopted an “heroic” stance on Renaissance political communication. This essay examines the classical references for Machiavelli's concept of orator‐as‐hero as well as his allied rhetorical artistry with a view toward encouraging the wider study of political communication during the Renaissance.
