Utopia, by Thomas More - Akasha Classics, AkashaPublishing.Com - Sir Thomas More, son of Sir John More, a justice of the King's Bench, was born in 1478, in Milk Street, in the city of London. After his earlier education at St. Anthony's School, in Threadneedle Street, he was placed, as a boy, in the household of Cardinal John Morton, Archbishop of Canterbury and Lord Chancellor. It was not unusual for persons of wealth or influence and sons of good families to be so established together in a relation of patron and client. The youth wore his patron's livery, and added to his state. The patron used, afterwards, his wealth or influence in helping his young client forward in the world. Cardinal Morton had been in earlier days that Bishop of Ely whom Richard III. sent to the Tower; was busy afterwards in hostility to Richard; and was a chief adviser of Henry VII., who in 1486 made him Archbishop of Canterbury, and nine months afterwards Lord Chancellor. Cardinal Morton - of talk at whose table there are recollections in "Utopia" - delighted in the quick wit of young Thomas More. He once said, "Whoever shall live to try it, shall see this child here waiting at table prove a notable and rare man." At the age of about nineteen, Thomas More was sent to Canterbury College, Oxford, by his patron, where he learnt Greek of the first men who brought Greek studies from Italy to England - William Grocyn and Thomas Linacre. Linacre, a physician, who afterwards took orders, was also the founder of the College of Physicians. In 1499, More left Oxford to study law in London, at Lincoln's Inn, and in the next year Archbishop Morton died.

Incorporating extensive updates to the editorial apparatus, including the introduction, suggestions for further reading, and footnotes, this third edition of More's Utopia has been comprehensively re-worked to take into account scholarship published since the second edition in 2002.

Originally published in 1879, and reprinted numerous times, this book presents the complete English text of Thomas More's Utopia, together with a glossary and detailed textual notes. An introduction and biography of More are also included. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in More's writings and political philosophy in general.

Contains three works by Thomas More. The first is a rebuttal of the main points of Lutheran teaching, whilst the second refutes "A Supplication of Beggars", an anticlerical pamphlet by Simon Fish. The third answers John Frith's arguments against the physical presence of Christ in the eucharist.

"The History of King Richard the Third" is Thomas More's English masterpiece. This book intends to make More's work accessible to 21st-century readers. It presents More's text with modern English spelling and punctuation, and with full annotation of linguistic difficulties and the historical background.

Inspiring, provocative, prophetic, and enigmatic, Utopia is the literary masterpiece of a visionary statesman and one of the most influential books of the modern world.

Includes the full text of More's 1516 classic, "Utopia", together with a wide range of background contextual materials.

Paints a fantastical picture of a distant island where society is perfected and people live in harmony. This work is also an attack on the author's own corrupt, dangerous times, and on the failings of humanity.

A new edition of More's Utopia, one of the classics of Renaissance humanism. It is the first to provide an accurate Latin text and facing-page English translation, and includes an introduction, textual apparatus, full commentary and guide to the critical literature.

With an Introduction by Mishtooni Bose.More's Utopia is a complex, innovative and penetrating contribution to political thought, culminating in the famous 'description' of the Utopians, who live according to the principles of natural law, but are receptive toChristian teachings, who hold all possessions in common, and view gold as worthless. Drawing on the ideas of Plato, St Augustine and Aristotle, Utopia was to prove seminal in its turn, giving rise to the genres of utopian and dystopian prose fiction whose practitioners include Sir Francis Bacon, H.G. Wells, Aldous Huxley and George Orwell. At once a critique of the social consequences of greed and a meditation on the personal cost of entering public service, Utopia dramatises the difficulty of balancing the competing claims of idealism and pragmatism, and continues to invite its readers to become participants in a compelling debate concerning the best state of a commonwealth.
