'Topos in Utopia' examines early modern literary utopias' and intentional communities' social and cultural conception of space. Starting from Thomas More's seminal work, published in 1516, and covering a period of three centuries until the emergence of Enlightenment's euchronia, this work provides a thorough yet concise examination of the way space was imagined and utilised in the early modern visions of a better society. Dealing with an aspect usually ignored by the scholars of early modern utopianism, this book asks us to consider if utopias' imaginary lands are based not only on abstract ideas but also on concrete spaces. Shedding new light on a period where reformation zeal, humanism's optimism, colonialism's greed and a proto-scientific discourse were combined to produce a series of alternative social and political paradigms, this work transports us from the shores of America to the search for the Terra Australis Incognita and the desire to find a new and better world for us.

Lawyer, social philosopher, author and saint, Thomas More coined the very word "Utopia," which is part of our everyday lexicon. His most controversial work, Utopia chronicles the travels of Raphael to the imaginary island country of Utopia, which was a play on the Greek words ou-topos and eu-topos, which meant "no place" and "good place." The novel allowed More to cover a range of controversial subjects within this fictional Utopia, including religion and politics. The book, of course, is a forerunner to today's literary genre of Utopia where ideal societies and perfect cities are the subject matter of fiction. More's own life was hardly Utopian, however. He was imprisoned by Henry VIII for refusing to acknowledge the king as the Supreme Head of the Church of England and eventually executed for his stand.

Utopia Unlimited, completed at the dawn of President Barack Obama's campaign for the presidency, hearkens back to the rhetoric of hope, promise, and idealism that unified and inspired millions of Americans to dream again. This edition arrives at the dawn of a new era--the Trump presidency. The theories, readings, and critique in this study are more prescient than ever. Every candidate promises a "brave new world" and inspires legions of voters to follow their lead. Sometimes these worlds are built on courage, innovation, and hope; sometimes their foundations are fear, cowardice, and complacency. Some candidates deliver on promises more than others. Of course, the Trump administration is in its infancy and the impact of his presidency remains to be seen. If history has any lessons to teach us, the waxing and waning of promises, dreams, lies, and nightmares is the rhythm of American politics and life. Utopian and dystopian authors have long charted this territory and Utopian Unlimited argues that American literary utopias of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, from Edward Bellamy's Looking Backward (1888) and William Dean Howells' Altrurian Romances (1907) to Aldous Huxley's Island and Ursula K. LeGuin's The Dispossessed (1974), offer a unique narrative site to approach the ethical and political concerns of postmodernity. Literary utopias are conventionally read as either dogmatic and totalitarian schemes or impractical and fanciful dreams; they are interpreted as representations of an archetypal ideology. I contend that these conventional interpretations overlay and belie an essentially post-ideological irony and ambivalence inherent in the neologism "utopia"--the "good place" (eu-topos) that is simultaneously "no place" (ou-topos). Utopian narratives remain unfinished projects whose political and ethical potential resides in the suspension of utopia's realization, a notion discussed in Jacques Derrida's exploration of the irony and ultimate ethical significance of an idea that cannot be fully presented or realized (diff�rance), a space that cannot be traversed (a-poria), and of a community-to-come engendered by these notions. Accordingly, these readings of American literary utopias disclose narrative characteristics, from temporal instability to radical shifts in points of view, to show that the value of utopian literature lies in its exploration of alternative possibilities without prescribing finite and present solutions. Utopia Unlimited will offer readers hope in the face of an uncertain future.Utopia Unlimited is a reexamination of the utopian tradition in American Literature from the 19th century to the present that posits a new theory of utopianism based on the intent of the titular work by Sir Thomas More. The works of famous utopian writers from Edward Bellamy to Aldous Huxley are explored in detail and the utopian criticism sheds light on where America, and humanity, may be headed in the 21st century. If you are interested in American Literature, Utopia, Dystopia, Politics, Philosophy, or Ethics, you will appreciate this examination of the utopian tradition and the promise utopian philosophy holds for the millennium.

Tommaso Moro in Utopia descrive un'immaginaria isola-regno abitata da una società ideale, nella quale alcuni studiosi moderni hanno ravvisato un opposto idealizzato dell'Europa sua contemporanea, mentre altri vi riscontrano una satira sferzante della stessa. Moro derivò il termine dal greco antico con un gioco di parole fra ou-topos (cioè non-luogo) ed eu-topos (luogo felice); utopia è quindi, letteralmente, un luogo felice inesistente. Titolo originale: Libellus vere aureus, nec minus salutaris quam festivus de optimo rei publicae statu, deque nova insula Utopia.

More's best known and most controversial work, Utopia is a novel written in Latin. More completed and theologian Erasmus published the book in Leuven in 1516, but it was only translated into English and published in his native land in 1551 (16 years after his execution), and the 1684 translation became the most commonly cited. More (also a character in the book) and the narrator/traveller, Raphael Hythlodaeus (whose name alludes both to the healer archangel Raphael, and 'speaker of nonsense', the surname's Greek meaning), discuss modern ills in Antwerp, as well as describe the political arrangements of the imaginary island country of Utopia (a Greek pun on 'ou-topos' [no place] and 'EU-topos' [good place]) among themselves as well as to Pieter Gillis and Hieronymus van Busleyden. Utopia's original edition included asymmetrical "Utopian alphabet" omitted by later editions, but which may have been an early attempt at cryptography or precursor of shorthand.
