The Doctrinal of Princes , a translation of Isocrates? To Nicocles , and probably the earliest English book translated directly from Greek into English, consists of a collection of aphorisms, all advising moderation, addressed to monarchs. Pasquill the Playne , the first English pasquinade, is a comic dialogue on the ethical challenges involved in counseling a prince. Of That Knowledge Which Maketh a Wise Man is a direct imitation of a Platonic dialogue, in which Plato?s confrontation with the Sicilian tyrant Dionysius is given dramatic form. A third dialogue, The Defense of Good Women , is the first printed English book that argues for the moral and political equality of women to men. Included in the volume are a general introduction to Elyot?s life and political career, extensive critical introductions to each of the texts, full recordings of the variations between printed editions, and substantive notes. 410 0$aInternational Studies in the History of Rhetoric$v09. 606 $aCounseling 615 0$aCounseling. 676 $a320 700 $aElyot$b Thomas$cSir,$f1490?-1546.$0197191 701 $aSullivan$b Robert$f1951-$01642121 701 $aWalzer$b Arthur E.$f1944-$01603949 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816958003321 996 $aThomas Elyot, critical editions of four works on counsel$93986655 997 $aUNINA
