Description
Utopia: A Revised Translation, Backgrounds, Criticism is a comprehensive exploration of Thomas More's influential work. First published in 1516, Utopia offers a penetrating analysis of the politics of his time and all times, providing a seedbed for alternative political institutions. This Norton Critical Edition features a revised translation by George M. Logan, which improves upon Robert M. Adams' 1975 version while preserving its accuracy and literary flair. The book includes a wide-ranging selection of texts that informed More's thinking, as well as responses to his work from his humanist circle and contemporary scholars. The edition also provides a comprehensive survey of modern scholarship, with excerpts from seminal books and recent readings by prominent authors. A revised Selected Bibliography is included, making this edition a valuable resource for students and scholars of Renaissance literature and politics.
