MORE, Sir Thomas: Sir Thomas Moore's Utopia: containing an excellent, learned, wittie, and pleasant Discourse of the best state of a Publike Weale translated into English by Raphe Robinson Bernard Alsop London, 1624.
A lovely early seventeenth-century copy of Thomas More's landmark fable in English, the fourth edition, and the first edition of Ralph Robinson's translation corrected by Bernard Alsop. It is also the first with a new dedication, to Cresacre More, great grandson of the author.<br><br>More's invention relied heavily on the voyage accounts of his day, and it is germane to remember that Utopia is in the New World, discovered by his hero, Hythlodaye, during one of his three voyages with Amerigo Vespucci. That is, the work owes a considerable debt to 'the sense of discovery and possibility afforded by the Renaissance voyages of exploration' (Susan Bruce, Three Modern Utopias). This edition is, as a result, not only the preferred English language edition, but an important work of early Americana and a significant pseudo-voyage account in its own right.<br><br>This is the classic English translation of Utopia, 'which has not been displaced in popular esteem by the subsequent efforts of Gilbert Burnet (1684) and Arthur Cayley (1808)' (DNB). More's work is the landmark of a genre that has had a far-reaching effect on the world of letters and of the imagination. The notion of an ideal society had been canvassed before, notably by Plato, but it was More who fully developed the concept of an imagined ideal world, and who also gave the familiar name to the concept, with his famous pun on "good place" (eutopos) and "nowhere" (outopos).<br><br>With the early ownership signature of W. Inge in two places on the titlepage.<br>European Americana, 624/93; Gibson, 'St. Thomas More... with a Bibliography of Utopiana', 28; Printing and the Mind of Man, 47 (citing the first 1516 Latin edition); STC, 18097.
Small quarto, very small hole to leaf E3 (affecting two letters of text), attractive contemporary owner's signature to titlepage; a handsome copy in nineteenth-century blue morocco by Riviere, neatly rebacked in matching style, an elegant copy.
