Product Description

Review
[Richard Marius's "Thomas More"] will be the definitive popular biography. Custody of the popular memory of a figure like More is of some real importance, and Marius's custody is exemplary. His book is accessible enough to be read by a wide audience but complete and original enough to merit reading by a specialized audience. It is as subtle and satisfying a portrait as I have encountered in years. -- Jack Miles "Los Angeles Times Book Review"

Product Description
Over the centuries, biographers of Thomas More have frequently praised him and made him an example for their own times. He was a man for all seasons. This tudor prelate and Lord Chancellor of England shared human qualities identifiable in all ages - pride, love, ambition, generosity, hypocrisy and greed. He was less thancommon because he was witty and a great storyteller - possibly the best between Chaucer and Shakespeare. He was a true Renaissance man with the contradictions such praise imposes on a towering figure. In this biography, Sir Thomas More, the martyr and brilliant public figure, is a lesson for our time.
