Without entering into controversy over the term, we might recall that style in its most comprehensive sense (that is, inasmuch as distinguished and distinguishable from content) would include (i) More's conception of Utopia as both useful and entertaining, (2) his formulation of the theme and its structurization, so to speak, by use of a frame and other devices, (3) his choice of dramatic dialogue as his special medium and its consequent effect upon characterization and setting, and (4) his adaptation of the various elements, especially the comic, to the audience. These broader aspects of style have been treated recently in the Yale Utopia. The present article proposes to supplement—and to complement—the discussion by analyzing More's style in the more usual and narrow sense: the selection and the arrangement of words and phrases which betray the intellectual, emotional, and artistic cast of the author
