  • Reading Utopia

    Open AccessDominic Baker-Smith, Dominic Baker–SmithCHAPTERThe Cambridge Companion To Thomas…2011

    The modern reader of Utopia, challenged by the provocations of More's traveller's tale, may find a degree of reassurance in the apparent failure of some among More's contemporaries to get the point. In 1518 the Alsatian humanist Beatus Rhenanus, who at that time was seeing the third edition of Utopia through Johann Froben's press in Basel, wrote to the imperial councillor Willibald Pirckheimer, reporting how he had praised the book to a group of …

    This Companion offers a comprehensive introduction to the life and work of a major figure of the modern world. Combining breadth of coverage with depth, the book opens with essays on More's family, early life and education, his literary humanism, virtuoso rhetoric, illustrious public career and ferocious opposition to emergent Protestantism, and his fall from power, incarceration, trial and execution. These chapters are followed by in-depth studi…

  • Who Went to Thomas More's Lectures on St Augustine's De Civitate Dei

    Dominic Baker-Smith, Dominic Baker–SmithARTICLEChurch History and Religious…2007

    In 1501 omas More, newly qualified as a barrister, delivered a series of lectures on St Augustine's De Civitate Dei to a select audience in the London church of St Lawrence Jewry. To Erasmus, looking back some years later, what was striking was the contrast between the youthful speaker and the established clergy, lawyers, and higher civil servants who came to hear him. In fact the lectures can be seen as the fulfilment of a native tradition of la…

  • Antonio Buonvisi and Florens Wilson

    Open AccessDominic Baker-Smith, Dominic Baker–SmithARTICLEMoreana2006

    The Luccan banker Antonio Buonvisi is widely known as one of Thomas More’s most intimate friends and his name is dotted through the official records of Henry VIII’s reign, yet we have little information about the man. His acquaintance with the Scottish humanist Florens Wilson, both in London and Lyons, does bring him into a sharper focus as well as providing, in Wilson’s Latin verses in his honour, a literary memorial to go with the remarkable le…

  • More's Utopia

    Open AccessDominic Baker-Smith, Dominic Baker–SmithBOOKMore's Utopia1991

    Utopia has a strong claim to be the most misunderstood book ever written; its name has been hijacked by countless idealistic schemes having little in common with More's own assessment of social possibilities. For although it contributes to a line of argument that can be traced from Plato to Marx, Utopia is first and foremost a literary work that appeals to the imagination and seeks to question us rather than to proffer answers. This study prepare…
