Summary:

Jason Frank's Publius and Political Imagination is the first volume of the Modernity and Political Thought series to take as its focus not a single author, but a collaboration between political thinkers, in this very special case the collective known by the pseudonym Publius. Frank's revisionist reading of The Federalist Papers-perhaps the most canonical text in American political thought - counters familiar realist and deliberativist interpretations and demonstrates the neglected importance of political imagination to both Publius's arguments and to the republic he was invented to found.
