Summary

Sir Thomas More, son of Sir John More, a justice of the King's Bench, was born in 1478, in Milk Street, in the city of London. After his earlier education at St. Anthony's School, in Threadneedle Street, he was placed, as a boy, in the household of Cardinal John Morton, Archbishop of Canterbury and Lord Chancellor. It was not unusual for persons of wealth or influence and sons of good families to be so established together in a relation of patron and client.

Reader reviews for Utopia

From the publisher

Enduring lessons for leaders of any era

Utopia is Thomas More's seminal work describing the classic idea of a "people's commonwealth". Considered an important work for anyone holding or aspiring to a leadership role, this story set the bar for a broad range fields, providing the societal model for both real and fictional settings. Although written in 1516 during the Reformation, its lessons retain great value today -- while the word "utopia" itself has become a shorthand for "unrealistic", the actual framework described in the book presents a far more practical vision.

About the author

Sir Thomas More, venerated in the Catholic Church as Saint Thomas More, was an English lawyer, social philosopher, author, statesman, and noted Renaissance humanist. He was also a councillor to Henry VIII, and Lord High Chancellor of England from 1529 to 1532. H. V. S. Ogden is the author of Utopia, published by Wiley.
