This year marks the five-hundredth anniversary of Thomas More's widely influential book Utopia, and this volume brings together a number of scholars to consider the book, its long afterlife, and specifically its effects on political activists over the centuries. In addition to thorough studies of Utopia itself, and appraisals of More's relationship with Erasmus, the book presents detailed studies of the effect of Utopia on early modern England and the Low Countries, as well as philosophical reflections on ideology and the utopian mind, and much more.
Industry Reviews
"The strengths of this collection lie in the fact that it brings together scholars working in various disciplines"philosophy, political science, classics, and intellectual history"and its authors' attention to particular aspects of Utopia's context and influence, many of which have been little considered previously." - Chloe Houston, University of Reading, Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. LXXI, No. 1
