4.9/5 (17786 ratings)

Description:Thomas Elyot's Image of Governance is an English-language version of the matter of Thomas More's Utopia : a tract de optimo statu reipublicae , likewise replete with imagined 'dialogues of counsel'; but in an anti-utopian, monarchist perspective, calculated to appeal to Henry VIII. Moreover, Image of Governance is not imaginary but historical, translated from the late antique Latin Historia augusta . The present book provides critical editions of Elyot's political writings other than the Governour , all of which are or incorporate extensive translations of ancient Greek and Latin writings, like the Image of Governance . In these related 'Dialogues of Counsel', Elyot takes ancient historical cases — Plato's sale into slavery by Dionysius the tyrant of Syracuse, for example; or the life of the West Asian emperor Zenobia, a woman under patriarchy; or the advice of the Attic orator Isocrates to King Nicocles of Salamis; or the failed but ambitious late Roman imperiate of Alexander Severus; et cetera — and dramatises them, by means of the sort of Lucianic dialogue that Erasmus had used for the Praise of Folly (More too), except in the vernacular, for a relatively broader, more popular English audience.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
