Three Early Modern Utopias
With the publication of Utopia (1516), Thomas More provided 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. This edition reprints Ralph Robinson's 1556 translation from More's original Latin together with letters and illustrations that accompanied early editions of Utopia.This edition also includes two other, hitherto less accessible, utopian narratives. Enormously influential, it remains a challenging as well as a playful text.
Henry Neville's The Isle of Pines (1668), a precursor of Defoe'sRobinson Crusoe, engages with some of the sexual, racial, and colonialist New Atlantis (1627) offers a fictional illustration of Francis Bacon's visionary ideal of the role that science should play in the modern society.
