"Fierce attacks on the idle rich, along with the communism of the Utopians have made this book popular with modern revolutionaries, who read it as a document of social protest. Thomas More, however, was interested in a deeper revolution than a shift of power from one class to another or a change in form of government. He believed that the only true revolution is moral, and that changing institutions is of small value unless the new institutions produce good men and good women."--from the introduction by H. V. S. Ogden, editor. In this well annotated and highly affordable volume, More's essential work is nicely supported by Ogden's introduction as well as a list of principal dates in the life of More, and a selected bibliography.
