So fascinating that this novel was written in the 1500’s. There are some backward ideas like women still having to answer to their husbands. However there are some very modern Republican ideas. Furthermore the book is humane and holds that every human life deserves dignity.
I think this novel would have been quite prolific for its time and environment. Some of these forward and modern ideas have been around since the Greeks, which the book mentions. However, for 16th century England this would of been quite progressive and almost treacherous as there is no support for a world living under a monarchy.
A short, snappy and prolific book that discusses philosophies we still get wrong to this day.
