This book provides the first English study (comprehensive of
introductory essays, translations, and notes) of five prominent
Italian Renaissance utopias: Doni's Wise and Crazy World, Patrizi's
The Happy City, and Zuccolo's The Republic of Utopia, The Republic
of Evandria, and The Happy City. The scholarship on Italian
Renaissance utopias is still relatively underdeveloped; there is no
English translation of these texts (apart from Campanella's City of
Sun), and our understanding of the distinctive features of this
utopian tradition is rather limited. This book therefore fills an
important gap in the existing critical literature, providing easier
access to these utopian texts, and showing how the study of the
utopias of Doni, Patrizi, and Zuccolo can shed crucial light on the
scholarly debate about the essential traits of Renaissance utopias.
