Abstract
⺠Wells's The New Machiavelli (1911) is a par excellence example of twentieth-century anti-Machiavellian Machiavellism. ⺠Wells's use of anti-Machiavellian Machiavellism is clear and deliberate. ⺠In politics, it structures the deception required for mass representation, partisanship, and politics as a vocation. ⺠For individuals, it enables unlimited self-deception. ⺠For Wells, anti-Machiavellian Machiavellism is a defining and pervasive, not a tangential, feature of individual morality and political rhetoric.
