The most important philosophical text of the English Renaissance which coined the term 'utopia'. The first edition of Gilbert Burnet's translation of this enigmatic work by Sir Thomas More (1478-1535) which continues to defy simple interpretation. As Burnet (1643-1715) noted in his preface, 'I do not think. More himself went in heartily to that which is the chief Basis of his Utopia, the taking away of all Property, and the levelling of the World; but that he only intended to set many Notions in his Reader's way; and that he might not seem too much in earnest, he went so far out of all Roads to do it the less suspected'. The tale begins when More encounters the fictional character Raphael Hythloday, a traveller who has just returned from voyages with Amerigo Vespucci. Hythloday tells More of a distant island called Utopia, where all property is held in common and gold and silver are used not as currency but as the materials for making shackles and chamber pots. However, all is not as it seems, and the paradoxes in the names of Hythloday ('the nonsense speaker') and Utopia ('nowhere') reveal a more complex story. Burnet's translation was completed in 1684 during in a low period of his life when he was out of royal favour. He found in More an unlikely ally; a fellow victim of political circumstance, who was 'one of the greatest Men that this Island has produced' (Preface). 'This translation, though not so frequently reprinted. is, in some respects, much superior, and certainly presents a more readable text' (Pforzheimer).
