"Machiavelli: Philosophy, Rhetoric, and History," Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, Yale University, October 17–18, 2008.

[This conference is past but it might be of interest to some.] This conference provides a venue for a broad interdisciplinary exploration of Machiavelli as a political philosopher, historian, and literary figure in his own time and beyond. Sessions explore Machiavelli's thought as it related to the ancient world, to the historical imagination and history writing, and to public opinion in his own day and earlier epochs, as well as consider the critical study and evaluation of Machiavelli in the twentieth century.
