James Harrington
definition: James Harrington (1611–1677) was an English political writer most famous for The Commonwealth of Oceana (1656), considered one of the most systematic treatises to emerge from the English republican movement. There is little reliable biographical information about Harrington's early life; he provided loans to Parliament in the early 1640s and was politically aligned with them, but he apparently was also a companion of Charles I prior to Charles I's execution.
