Más información sobre el libro

Focusing on the depiction of England and Europe in the early 16th century, this seminar paper analyzes the critiques presented in Book I of a foundational Utopian text. It explores how the socio-political climate of the time influenced the author's perspective and the emergence of a new literary genre. The study emphasizes the significance of this transitional period in shaping the themes of idealized societies, which would come to be known as Utopias, and examines the major societal issues addressed in the work.
