Synopsis:
"It is an immense work of painstaking erudition, and will undoubtedly be the standard text for this generation."―Times Literary Supplement
"Both the completeness of this volume and the care with which it has been produced will gain for it the respect of the general student and the specialist alike."―Seventeenth-Century News
Thomas More's Utopia, from its first appearance in 1516, has been one of the germinal works in Western thought and remains even today, in its essential modernity, stimulating and controversial. Based on Volume 4 of the Yale Edition of the Complete Works of St. Thomas More, this edition includes an Introduction and Notes by Father Surtz. Notes are provided as explanatory comment on the text. The accuracy of the translation ensures that the volume can be used by the historian, literary scholar, the social and political scientist, and the student of utopian thought.
From the Back Cover: First published in 1516, during a period of astonishing political and technological change, Sir Thomas More's utopia depicts an imaginary society free of private property, sexual discrimination and religious intolerance.
