More: Utopia Summary

More: Utopia by Thomas More

This is a fully revised edition of one of the most successful volumes in the Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought series. 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. The vivid and engaging translation of the work itself by Robert M. Adams includes all the ancillary materials by More's fellow humanists that, added to the book at his own request, collectively constitute the first and best interpretive guide to Utopia. Unlike other teaching editions of Utopia, this edition keeps interpretive commentary - whether editorial annotations or the many pungent marginal glosses that are an especially attractive part of the humanist ancillary materials - on the page they illuminate instead of relegating them to endnotes, and provides students with a uniquely full and accessible experience of More's perennially fascinating masterpiece.

More: Utopia Reviews

'Adams and Logan's edition has always stood head and shoulders above the crowd for its fluent translation and scrupulous annotation, now superbly updated for the 500th anniversary of the initial publication of More's masterpiece. The ideal edition for students in all disciplines of the humanities.' John Guy, Clare College, Cambridge
