Description:... Part One analyzes and documents the main ideas which Sir Thomas More and his friends wished to use for the reform of society. These ideas dealt with nature and the law of nature, the bases of true nobility, religious reforms, education in general, and the education of women apropos love and marriage. Part Two is concerned with the expression of these same ideas in the drama connected with the More circle, either by printing or writing, and possibly by staging. [Book jacket].
