Although some of their specific details are different‚ I believe that Jacobs would definitely approve of the features that More develops in Utopia. Utopia occupies a crescent-shaped island that curves in on itself‚ enclosing a large bay and protecting it from the ocean and wind. The bay functions as a huge harbor.

Thomas Wolsey largely was the main source of all authority over English government in the period 1515 - 1529.
