Combining breadth of coverage with depth, the book opens with essays on More's family, early life and education, his literary humanism, virtuoso rhetoric, illustrious public career and ferocious opposition to emergent Protestantism, and his fall from power, incarceration, trial and execution. These chapters are followed by in-depth studies of five of More's major works - Utopia, The History of King Richard the Third, A Dialogue Concerning Heresies, A Dialogue of Comfort against Tribulation and De Tristitia Christi - and a final essay on the varied responses to the man and his writings in his own and subsequent centuries. The volume provides an accessible overview of this fascinating figure to students and other interested readers, whilst also presenting, and in many areas extending, the most important modern scholarship on him.Cambridge companions to religion.Christian martyrsEnglandBiographyHumanistsEnglandBiographyStatesmenGreat BritainBiographyGreat BritainHistoryHenry VIII, 1509-1547BiographyEnglandIntellectual life16th centuryGreat BritainPolitics and government1509-1547Christian martyrsHumanistsStatesmen942.05/2092Logan George M.1941-UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK996218163203316The Cambridge companion to Thomas More2547751UNISAThis Record contains information from the Harvard Library Bibliographic Dataset, which is provided by the Harvard Library under its Bibliographic Dataset Use Terms and includes data made available by, among others the Library of Congress
