First published in Latin in 1516, Thomas More's Utopia is one
of the most influential books in the Western philosophical and
literary tradition and one of the supreme achievements of
Renaissance humanism. This is the first edition of Utopia since
1965 (the Yale edition) to combine More's Latin text with an
English translation, and also the first edition to provide a Latin
text that is both accurate and readable. The text is based on the
early editions (with the Froben edition of March 1518 as
copy-text), but spelling and punctuation have been regularized in
accordance with modern practices. The translation is a revised
version of the acclaimed lively and readable Adams translation,
which also appears in Cambridge Texts in the History of Political
Thought. This edition, which incorporates the results of recent
Utopian scholarship, also includes an introduction, textual
apparatus, a full commentary and a guide to the voluminous
scholarly and critical literature on Utopia.
