Description:"More's History is of great importance for the development of prose narrative in Tudor England, and equally for its stimulus to the drama. Apart from the heavy volumes of the Yale edition there has been no version that combines the latest scholarship with a handy and attractive format. The Indiana Reading Edition not only fills a painful gap but does so with distinction. George Logan has provided just the sort of masterly edition that one might expect from his earlier work on Utopia, and it is presented in a format that is both appealing and comprehensive. The History can prove a highly attractive text for students once they have some initiation into the language and the assumptions behind the work; all this is now provided in a volume that is elegantly designed and easy to handle." -- Dominic Baker Smith, Professor of English (Emeritus), University of Amsterdam
