Explanation
During the early sixteenth century, English had limited prestige outside England. To address an international intellectual audience, Thomas More wrote his Utopia in Latin. Contrary to some beliefs, English was not yet widespread among European intellectuals, and travelers often needed to know other European languages. Additionally, while travelers sometimes brought back foreign fashions, this was viewed negatively by moralists.
