This book accounts for the previously inadequately explained
transformation in the meaning of equity in sixteenth century
England, a transformation which, intriguingly, first comes to light
in literary texts rather than political or legal treatises. The
book address the two principal literary works in which the
transformation becomes apparent, Thomas More's Utopia and Edmund
Spenser's Faerie Queene, and sketches the history of equity to its
roots in the Greek concept of epieikeia, uncovering along the way
both previously unexplained distinctions, and a long-obscured
esoteric meaning. These rediscoveries, when brought to bear upon
the Utopia and Faerie Queene, illuminate critical though relatively
neglected textual passages that have long puzzled scholars.
