Thomas More is one of the great figures in English history. Pre-eminent as a courtier & as a humanist, a friend to Henry VIII & the author of Utopia, More's life & career epitomise the great transformation of England in the space of 35 years. Ackroyd investigates the paradox of this 'man for all seasons': the man of the world who travelled across Europe to negotiate on behalf of his king, & the unworldly man who's careful silence on the matter of Henry's marriage to Anne Boleyn would lead to his disgrace & execution. A magnificent achievement, THE LIFE OF THOMAS MORE gives us a rich portrait of the man & the social & cultural world in which he lived. ...
