Title: St. Thomas More's <i>Utopia</i> and the Description of Britain
Abstract: Utopia presents two distinct worlds that occupy the same textual space while insisting upon the impossibility of their doing so. We can neither separate them entirely nor bring them into accord, so that the intellectual gratification of radical discontinuity is as impossible to achieve as the pleasure of wholly integrated form. We are constantly tantalized by the resemblances between England and Utopia… and as constantly frustrated by the abyss that divides them. (Greenblatt, 22)
