Booknews

Based on the first English translation of the influential 1516 book produced forty years after original Latin publication. Robynson's version is here corrected and revised, with modern spelling and extensive annotation. The introduction describes More's thought and places him and his work within the political, economic, and religious contexts of 16th-century England. Annotation c.
