Eutopia

Meaning

Form.

The genitive of the normalized name Eutopia marks the region in which the narrator finds himself after Neptune’s final departure and awakening. The selected 1606 witness reads Eutopiae; the supplied apparatus notes that a later transcription aid instead has Europae. The translation preserves the selected reading rather than silently making this a return to Europe. The unresolved ending maintains the parable’s literary geography.
