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. Preeminent More scholar Clarence H. Miller
does justice to the full range of More's rhetoric in this masterful
translation. In a new afterword to this edition, Jerry Harp
contextualizes More's life and "Utopia" within the wider frames of
European humanism and the Renaissance.
"Clarence H. Miller's fine translation tracks the supple variations
of More's Latin with unmatched precision, and his Introduction and
notes are masterly. Jerry Harp's new Afterword adroitly places
More's wonderful little book into its broader contexts in
intellectual history."--George M. Logan, author of "The Meaning of
More's "Utopia""
"Sir Thomas More's "Utopia" is not merely one of the foundational
texts of western culture, but also a book whose most fundamental
concerns are as urgent now as they were in 1516 when it was
written. Clarence H. Miller's wonderful translation of More's
classic is now happily once again available to readers. This is the
English edition that best captures the tone and texture of More's
original Latin, and its notes and introduction, along with the
lively afterward by Jerry Harp, graciously supply exactly the kinds
of help a modern reader might desire."--David Scott Kastan, Yale
University
