Utopia

Utopia

Author: Thomas More

It is worth remembering that early science fiction was not necessarily written in English. For example, Utopia, which has a good claim to be one of the progenitors of science fiction (and utopias of various stripes remain a very significant part of science fiction even today) was written by an Englishman, but he wrote it in Latin and it was first published in Utrecht. More himself subsequently produced an English language version of the second part of the book, but it would be some decades before the entire work was translated. In fact it was written in Latin so that it could be read right across Europe, and it was translated into other languages before it could be read in English.
