Utopian Writing, 1516-1789: Bibliography

Utopian Texts

Chronological List of Utopian Texts

Note: not all of these texts are necessarily 'utopias' in the strict sense (whether there can be said to be a strict sense of this term is another matter), but they all have elements of the genre - or are used in our course.

Several early modern utopian texts can be found in digital reproductions of the original editions on Early English Books Online (EEBO) and/or Gallica.

The compilers of the New York Public Library exhibition Utopia: the search for the ideal society in the western world have put together an even more comprehensive bibliography of primary texts, starting at 1516. See also the hardly less comprehensive primary bibliography of the exhibition "Utopie, la qu�te de la soci�t� id�ale en Occident" at the Bibliothèque nationale de France.

Early Modern Feminism

Note: there are a range of works written in the period 1516-1789 that debate the position of women in relation to education and society. Although perhaps not strictly 'utopian' in nature, they might make an interesting comparison with such works. Many are published in translation in the University of Chicago Press series 'The Other Voice in Early Modern Europe'. See especially:

Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa von Nettesheim, The Nobility and Preeminence of the Female Sex [1529], ed. and trans. by Jr. Albert Rabil (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1996)

Primary

Recommended Edition

Tommaso Campanella, La città del sole: dialogo poetico / The City of the Sun: A poetical dialogue [1623], ed. and trans. by Daniel J. Donno (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1981)

Other Acceptable Translations

Tommaso Campanella, The City of the Sun, trans. by A. M. Elliott and R. Millner, introd. by A. L. Morton (London: Journeyman, 1981)

Note: there are also a number of older translations of Campanella's work. None of these are entirely satisfactory. In particular, the 1885 translation by T. W. Halliday, which is fairly widely available (not least on the internet) is not reliable, particularly in respect of its laconic treatment of Campanella's passages about sex and reproduction.

Neville, Henry

Primary

Note: there is no satisfactory modern edition of Neville's Isle of Pines. The most easily available one is as follows:

Henry Neville, 'The Isle of Pines', in Three Renaissance Utopias: Utopia, New Atlantis, The Isle of Pines, ed. by Susan Bruce (Oxford: World's Classics, 1999), pp. 187-212

Unfortunately there are a number of serious failings with this edition. In the first place, the editor takes her copy-text not from original printed editions but from an earlier twentieth-century edition. Secondly, the text is not reliable. In particular, note the absurd reading 'irrelevantly' (recte 'irreverently') at p. 202. Finally, the edition nowhere draws attention to the related text A New and Further Discovery of the Islle of Pines (London, 1668). If you would like to consult the best original text of the Isle of Pines, it is available on EEBO; search under Bibliographic Number 'N506'. Note that the the other text published in the same year, with the same title (Wing number N505) is also deficient.
