In the era of humanism and early modernity, a new genre of political thought flourished, that of the utopia. Thomas More gave it a name and a literary form. Tomasso Campanella's City of the Sun and Francis Bacon's New Atlantis emulate his example. This volume offers commentaries on these three works and explains their importance for contemporary political thought.
