More was a critic and a patron of art, and Holbein is said to have stayed three years in his house at Chelsea; he painted portraits of him and his family. For two centuries he was regarded in catholic Europe as one of the glories of English literature; his Latin verse and prose are scholarly and fluent, while his epigrams embody much shrewd satire. The English prose in his controversial tracts Is simple and direct, and his devotional works are noticeable for their sincerity. The Utopia his greatest literary effort, was written in Latin In two books, the second in 1515 and the first in 1516. It j describes the social defect** of England, and suggests , remedies in the account of the social and political constitution of the imaginary Island of Utopia where communism is the law of the land, a national system of ! education Is extended to men and women alike, and the ! freest toleration In religion is recognised. The Utopia j however, does not contain his own personal and practical opinions on religion and politics. The book at once became popular and was translated into French, 1530, Into English, 1551, Into German, 1524, into Italian, 1548, and into Spanish, 1790. More's other chief English works are his Life of John Picua, Earl of Mirandula (printed by Wynkyu de Worde, 1510), hi*History of Richard III (printed imperfectly in Grafton'sChronicle 1543, used by Hall, and printed fully by Rastell In 1667),A Dyaloge of Syr Thomas More 1628. Supplycacyon of Soulys 1529, Confutacyon of Tyudale's Auswere 1632, and An Apologye of Syr Thomas More 1533. His English works were collected In 1667. His Latin publications included two dialogues of Lucian, epigrammata. and controversial tracts In divinity. Collections of his Latin works are dated 1663, 1565, 1666, and 1689.
