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. 195025 4 11 2000 Three Early Modern Utopias: Thomas More, Utopia; Francis Bacon, New Atlantis; Henry Neville, The Isle of Pines total:19|5:3|4:7|3:6|2:2|1:1| 19 66 41 2 2 0 false false Sun Sep 20 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 14 13:01:04 -0700 2009 Wed Dec 02 07:52:03 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 25 00:46:02 -0700 2008 Thu Sep 25 00:46:02 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Dec 01 19:40:44 -0800 2009 Tue Dec 01 19:40:44 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Nov 20 10:07:07 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 20 10:07:07 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Nov 16 13:00:30 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 16 13:00:30 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Oct 09 20:27:50 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 08 20:38:41 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 09 20:27:50 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 28 02:55:44 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 28 02:55:50 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Aug 04 19:15:22 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 04 19:15:22 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Jun 23 19:17:51 -0700 2009 Tue Jun 23 19:17:51 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue Apr 28 14:15:54 -0700 2009 Tue Apr 28 14:15:54 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Apr 16 19:13:56 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 16 19:13:56 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Mar 29 14:47:27 -0700 2009 Sun Mar 29 14:47:27 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Feb 20 21:47:01 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 20 21:47:01 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Tue Jan 27 13:01:48 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 27 13:01:48 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Mon Jan 26 06:01:57 -0800 2009 Mon Jan 26 06:01:57 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Wed Dec 17 21:35:07 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 17 21:35:07 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Fri Dec 12 15:25:00 -0800 2008 Fri Dec 12 15:25:00 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Mon Dec 08 11:17:32 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 08 11:17:32 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Nov 30 08:53:06 -0800 2008 Sun Nov 30 08:53:08 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Mon Nov 24 17:32:56 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 24 17:32:56 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=201576
