Thomas More's most important writing would have to be the book Utopia. During Book 1 (the first half) of Utopia, More is recording the discourse by "The Extraordinary Raphael Hythloday," a man recently returned from a country called Utopia. Throughout the first book, he comments mainly on different political happenings and beliefs in England, while also referring and comparing the ideas to those of Utopia. Book 2 is the complete recollection of Hythloday's stay in Utopia, describing everything from the geographical location of Utopia to the work disbursement to what the country does with its gold and silver to how men and women go about getting married. The book is very provocative, pointing out many of the flaws in English culture during the time period it was written, but also showing another culture, of the fictional Utopia, that some may label as too extreme. The book has been around for centuries and still continues to be debated in literature classes.
