Reviews for Utopia 1516-2016: More´s Eccentric Essay and its Activist Aftermath
The strengths of this collection lie in the fact that it brings together scholars working in various disciplines-philosophy, political science, classics, and intellectual history-and its authors' attention to particular aspects of Utopia's context and influence, many of which have been little considered previously. - Chlo Houston, University of Reading, Renaissance Quarterly, Vol. LXXI, No. 1
