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. 410 0$aCambridge companions to religion. 606 $aChristian martyrs$zEngland$vBiography 606 $aHumanists$zEngland$vBiography 606 $aStatesmen$zGreat Britain$vBiography 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yHenry VIII, 1509-1547$vBiography 607 $aEngland$xIntellectual life$y16th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xPolitics and government$y1509-1547 615 0$aChristian martyrs 615 0$aHumanists 615 0$aStatesmen 676 $a942.05/2092 702 $aLogan$b George M.$f1941- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996218163203316 996 $aThe Cambridge companion to Thomas More$92547751 997 $aUNISA 999 $aThis 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
