Where do we stand when we look at Thomas More? Are we thinking of history, and if so, of More's place in the Tudor history or of his continuing role (in Tudor England and during the Counter-Reformation) as a model or touchstone? Are we thinking of literature, and if so, can we talk of anything besides the Utopia ? Or can we now, at long last, begin to look at him in the round? This book, intended for the non-specialist, attempts to describe and evaluate some aspects of the achievement of Thomas More.
