Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Century of Sir Thomas More "´There are many things in the Commonwealth of Nowhere that I rather wish than hope to see embodied in our own.´ It was with these words of characteristic irony that More closed the first work which embodied the dreams of the New Learning, Destined as they were to fulfilment in the course of ages, its schemes of social, religious and political reform broke in fact helplessly against the temper of the time. At the moment when More was pleading the cause of justice between rich and poor, social discontent was being fanned by new exactions and sterner laws into a fiercer flame. While he was advocating toleration and Christian comprehension, Christendom stood on the verge of a religious strife which was to rend it forever in pieces." - John Richard Green, M.A., in "History of the English People."
