Thomas More, Utopia

Germain Marc'hadour is a priest like many of More's friends (Erasmus, Fisher, Tunstal, Grocin) and translators of Utopia, both from the Church of England (Burnet and Lupton), and the Catholic clergy (Surtz and Prévost). He is international secretary to the Amici Thomae Mori, and founder of the bilingual journal Moreana, published from Moreanum (Université Catholique de l'Ouest). He devoted both of his doctoral dissertations to More, and edited two of his works for Yale University Press. He has translated many pages from More's Latin and English. Several of his own articles have been translated into Dutch, Italian, Japanese and Chinese. He took a significant part in three editions of Utopia, those of Prévost, Morvannou (into Breton) and Cambridge (1995).
