Synopsis

"This translation offers a fresh and vital encounter with Thomas More's Utopia for a twenty-first century audience."--Elizabeth McCutcheon, Utopian Studies

Saint Thomas More's 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 More's rhetoric in this masterful translation. In an Afterword to this edition, Jerry Harp contextualizes More's life and Utopia within the wider frames of European humanism and the Renaissance.
