A specialist in Italian and Italian American History, and European history in general (with particular concentrations in medieval and Renaissance intellectual history, humanism, social history and statebuilding), Prof. Connell has translated Machiavelli's Il principe into English for Bedford/St. Martins (2nd rev., 2016).
