  1. Utopia’s Moorish Inspiration: Thomas More’s Reading of Ibn Ṭufayl

    Utopia’s Moorish Inspiration: Thomas More’s Reading of Ibn Ṭufayl

    Article | Contributeur(s): Daniel Regnier

    A promising but neglected precedent for Thomas More’s Utopia is to be found in Ibn Ṭufayl’s Ibn Ḥayy Yaqẓān. This twelfth-century Andalusian philosophical novel describing the self-education and enlightenment of a feral child on an island, while certainly a precedent for the European...

  2. “Real versus ideal”: Utopia and the Early Modern Satirical Tradition

    “Real versus ideal”: Utopia and the Early Modern Satirical Tradition

    Article | Contributeur(s): Bernd Renner

    Building on previous studies of satire in Thomas More’s Utopia, this article aims at situating More’s founding text of utopian literature more firmly in the early modern satirical tradition, a tradition that gradually dissociated itself from its conventional generic definition informed by...

  3. Utopia and the Enclosing of Dramatic Landscapes

    Utopia and the Enclosing of Dramatic Landscapes

    Article | Contributeur(s): Régis Augustus Bars Closel

    This article focuses on the enclosing of the land as depicted in More’s Utopia (1516); the anonymous domestic tragedy, Arden of Faversham (1589); and the Carolinian play, A Jovial Crew (1641), by Richard Brome. It discusses how the relationship between the multiple resulting changes in...

  4. “[T]he fault of the man and not the poet”: Sidney’s Troubled Double Vision of Thomas More’s Utopia

    “[T]he fault of the man and not the poet”: Sidney’s Troubled Double Vision of Thomas More’s Utopia

    Article | Contributeur(s): Daniel T. Lochman

    In the Defence of Poesy, Philip Sidney refers puzzlingly to Thomas More and Utopia. He praises the “way” this work presents a commonwealth yet faults the man who produced it. Sidney might have followed religious writers who condemned More’s Catholicism and his use of poetic fictions rather than...

    Minor if Entertaining Post-Utopian Nowheres

    Article | Contributeur(s): Anne Lake Prescott

    Not all utopias are truly imaginative, yet minor ones can be instructive or amusing. This article explores the hierarchy-obsessed French Antangil as well as some minor English ones so as to deduce further what so entranced so many about Nowhere’s possibilities. None is as radical as...

  6. All That Glitters: Devaluing the Gold Standard in the Utopias of Thomas More, Francis Bacon, and Margaret Cavendish

    All That Glitters: Devaluing the Gold Standard in the Utopias of Thomas More, Francis Bacon, and Margaret Cavendish

    Article | Contributeur(s): Catherine Gimelli Martin

    Francis Bacon’s and Margaret Cavendish’s ideal societies unexpectedly follow Thomas More’s Utopia in eliminating the exchange value of gold and replacing it with a knowledge economy. Bacon’s New Atlantis (1627) and Cavendish’s Blazing World (1666) similarly pursue new “light” and shun selfish...

  7. More, Huxley, Eggers, and the Utopian/Dystopian Tradition

    More, Huxley, Eggers, and the Utopian/Dystopian Tradition

    Article | Contributeur(s): Peter C. Herman

    From its inception in Plato’s Republic and revival in Thomas More’s Utopia, the concept of a perfect (or as More originally put it in a qualification often lost, “best”) form of a republic has been dogged by the spectres of hypocrisy, contradiction, and authoritarianism. However, the matter...
