Utopia

This translation offers a fresh and vital encounter with Thomas Mores Utopia for a twenty-first century audience.Elizabeth McCutcheon, Utopian Studies
 
Saint Thomas Mores Utopia is one of the most important works of European humanism and serves as a key text in survey courses on Western intellectual history, the Renaissance, political theory, and many other subjects. In Utopia, More introduces the mysterious traveler Raphael Hythloday, who tells of an island nation that he considers the most perfectly organized and harmonious in the world. Preeminent More scholar Clarence H. Miller does justice to the full range of Mores rhetoric in this masterful translation. In an Afterword to this edition, Jerry Harp contextualizes Mores life and Utopia within the wider frames of European humanism and the Renaissance. See more
