En los duros momentos de su reclusión en San Casciano, acusado de conspiración contra los Médici, Maquiavelo compuso este tratado de doctrina política con la finalidad tanto de alcanzar el favor de aquellos que le habían privado de la libertad y recuperar su antiguo empleo de canciller como de ser útil a Florencia. En "El Príncipe" recogió sus reflexiones, experiencias personales y ejemplos históricos destinados a cimentar sobre bases sólidas el poder del futuro gobernante, un príncipe que llevase a cabo el sueño de Julio II: la liberación de Italia de los "bárbaros".
