ABSTRACT
Hood,
David
James
Sarty.
MA.
The
University
of
Ottawa.
2009.
“A
Place
Called
‘Nowhere’:
Towards
an
Understanding
of
St.
Thomas
More’s
‘Utopia’”.
Supervisor:
Dr.
Mark
Jurdjevic.
St.
Thomas
More’s
Utopia
has
been
the
subject
of
considerable
debate
over
the
past
75
years.
It
claims
to
be
concerned
with
the
‘best
state
of
a
commonwealth’,
but
how
is
it
concerned?
It
is
a
strange
little
book
that
records
a
fictional
dialogue
between
More,
his
friend
Peter
Giles,
and
a
very
impulsive
and
opinionated
traveler
named
Raphael
Hythloday.
Hythloday
has
recently
returned
from
a
voyage,
and
the
Utopia
is
mostly
taken
up
with
a
detailed
account
of
the
bizarre
customs,
laws,
and
rituals
of
a
people
he
encountered
in
a
place
called
Utopia.
Hythloday
praises
them
as
the
best
and
wisest
people.
More
remains
skeptical,
but
does
acknowledge
that
certain
of
the
Utopian
practices
have
merit.
The
reader
is
therefore
left
wondering
whether
More
created
this
fictional
commonwealth
to
provide
a
model
for
reform,
or
whether
he
created
it
as
a
satire.
This
thesis
has
sought
to
contribute
to
the
wealth
of
research
on
this
topic,
by
interpreting
the
enthusiasm
of
Hythloday
and
the
skepticism
of
More
as
evidence
that
More
did
not
intend
the
Utopia
to
be
taken
literally,
but
neither
did
he
intend
for
it
to
be
read
solely
as
satire.
He
meant
for
the
Utopia
to
be
a
springboard
for
discussion
and
debate.
He
meant
to
create
a
platform
to
address
issues
plaguing
European
commonwealths.
I
have
come
to
this
conclusion
by
interpreting
the
Utopia
within
its
historical and
literary
context.
In
this
thesis
I
examine
the
circumstances
of
the
Utopia
’s
publication
and
distribution;
the
intellectual
and
cultural
influences
of
Renaissance
England,
and
More’s
immediate
circumstances
in
the
year
1515
when
he
wrote
the
Utopia.
I
then
move
from
a
general
study
of
the
Utopia
to
a
more
concentrated
study
of
its
content
where
I
provide
a
character
analysis
of
More,
Giles
and
Hythloday.
I
also
examine
the
inconsistencies
inherent
within
the
pages
of
the
Utopia,
as
well
as
the
inconsistencies
that
existed
between
More’s
life
and
the
ideals
he
seemingly
espoused
within
