Moreana is an international and non‐confessional journal, which was founded in 1963 by Abbé Germain Marc'hadour under the auspices of the Amici Thomae Mori, or the Society of Friends of Thomas More, and is read in nearly 30 countries today.
Since its inception, Moreana has provided leading research on the life of More and humanist forms of thought through interdisciplinary studies. The pages of Moreana accompany and distinguish the fifteen volumes of The Yale Complete Works of Thomas More because Moreana constituted the premier forum for discussion and debate over the work of the Yale editors: The original executive editor of the 2 Complete Works, Richard Sylvester, and his successor, Clarence Miller, published their findings in our pages; others in the Yale project - such as Louis L. Martz, Richard J. Schoeck, J.P. Trapp - developed their interpretations of More, humanism, or the history of the period in our journal; the editors of the landmark Yale edition of Utopia, Edward Surtz and J.H. Hexter, are previous contributors; so, too, editors of individual and highly influential volumes, such as the work of John Guy in editing More’s exchanges with Christopher St. Germain, continue to publish with us.
