An appendix provides an overview of Utopia for readers new to the text. The Handbook's Introduction outlines the biography of More, the key strands of interpretation and criticism relating to the text, the structure of the Handbook, and some of its recurring themes and issues. The Handbook is organized in four sections: on different aspects of the origins and contexts of Utopia in the 1510s on histories of its translation into different vernaculars in the early modern and modern eras and on various manifestations of utopianism up to the present day. An especially innovative feature is that it allows readers to follow Utopia across time and place, unpacking the often-revolutionary moments that encouraged its translation by new generations of writers as far afield as France, Russia, Japan, and China.
In so doing, it provides an integrated overview of More's text, as well as new contributions to the range of scholarship and debates that Utopia continues to attract. It has been developed to allow readers to consider these different facets of Utopia in relation to each other and to provide fresh and original contributions to our understanding of the book's creation, vernacularization, and afterlives. This Handbook of specially commissioned and original essays brings together for the first time three different ways of thinking about the book: in terms of its renaissance contexts, its vernacular translations, and its utopian legacies. Thomas More's Utopia is one of the most iconic, translated, and influential texts of the European Renaissance.
