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 collaboration between political thinkers, in this very special case the collective known by the pseudonym: Publius. Franks revisionist reading of The Federalist Papersperhaps the most canonical text in American political thoughtcounters familiar realist and deliberativist interpretations and demonstrates the neglected importance of political imagination to both Publiuss arguments and to the republic he was invented to found.
