Saint John Fisher by Michael Davies
Neumann Press, 1999
"This life of Fisher portrays in a vivid manner those most
closely involved in his life and martyrdom-King Henry VIII;
Lady Margaret Beaufort, Fisher’s patron; the scheming Anne
Boleyn; the saintly Queen Catherine; the cowardly Cardinal
Wolsey; the uncompromising saint Thomas More; etc. After
you have enjoyed and read this book the first time, you will
enjoy reading it again and again, and also use it as a great
reference resource." Amazon.com

Cambridge University Press, 2003
"Investigates the life and work of Fisher the scholar from
his arrival in Cambridge in the 1480s to his prolonged literary
campaign against Henry's divorce from Catharine of Aragon....

in his education and his subsequent career, and the way in which
he attempted to cope with the tensions between the authority of
the Church and the critical implications of humanist study."
