Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not
used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad
quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are
images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to
keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the
original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain
imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made
available for future generations to enjoy.

Thomas More: Utopia/ Francis Bacon: New Atlantis/Henry Neville: The
Isle of Pines With the publication of Utopia (1516), Thomas More
introduced into the English language not only a new word, but a new
way of thinking about the gulf between what ought to be and what
is. His Utopia is at once a scathing analysis of the shortcomings
of his own society, a realistic suggestion for an alternative mode
of social organization, and a satire on unrealistic idealism.
Enormously influential, it remains a challenging as well as a
playful text. This edition reprints Ralph Robinson's 1556
translation from More's original Latin together with letters and
illustrations that accompanied early editions of Utopia. Utopia was
only one of many early modern treatments of other worlds. This
edition also includes two other, hitherto less accessible, utopian
narratives. New Atlantis (1627) offers a fictional illustration of
Francis Bacon's visionary ideal of the role that science should
play in the modern society. Henry Neville's The Isle of Pines
(1668), a precursor of Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, engages with some
of the sexual, racial, and colonialist anxieties of the end of the
early modern period. Together these texts illustrate the diversity
of the early modern utopian imagination, as well as the different
purposes to which it could be put. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100
years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range
of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume
reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most
accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including
expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to
clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and
much more.
