A Thomas More Source Book
by Gerard B. Wegemer (Ed.), Stephen W. Smith (Ed.)
Paperback
Catholic University of America Press, 2004
"Brings together classic texts by and about Thomas More—poet, scholar, statesman, family man, educational reformer, philosopher, historian, and saint. In addition to serving as an introduction to More's life and writings for the general reader, this collection is a helpful companion to the study of More's literary and philosophical masterwork, Utopia, and to the study of sixteenth-century history, literature, philosophy, or politics. The writings focus upon More's views of education, political theory, church-state relations, love and friendship, practical politics, and the vexing issues of conscience. They shed light on the distinctive Christian humanism that More expressed and embodied. Also included in this book are three famous sixteenth-century accounts of More's life by Erasmus, Roper, and a team of London playwrights including William Shakespeare."—

Thomas
More
(Reputations Series)
by John A. Guy
Paperback
Edward Arnold; May 2000
"Reconsidering key issues in More's
life,
this new
study not only allows us to see with clarity the
different portrayals that have arisen to explain or
condemn or exculpate, it also breaks fresh ground
in its use of new evidence to reconstitute More's
beliefs on Henry VIII and the royal supremacy, on
the power of Parliament, on the power of the papacy
and of the General Council of the Roman Catholic
Church." —The Publisher.

More's attempts during his lonely

his own literate and humorous prose."

New
Republic : A Commentary on Book I of More's
Utopia
Showing Its Relation to Plato's Republic
by Colin Starnes
Published by Wilfrid Laurier Univ Pr, July 1990
"Starnes radical interpretation of
the
long-recognized affinity
of Thomas More's Utopia and Plato's Republic confirms the
intrinsic links between the two works. Through commentary
on More's own introduction to Book I, the author shows the
Republic is everywhere present as the model of the ``best
commonwealth,'' which More must first discredit as the root
cause of the dreadful evils in the collapsing political situation
of sixteenth-century Europe." —The Publisher

Utopian Thought of St. Thomas More
and Its Development in Literature
by Mardelle L. Fortier, Robert F. Fortier
Published by Edwin Mellen Press, Oct 1992
"A major contribution to scholarship is the
exploration of
St. Thomas More's philosophy concerning the conflict of
Reason and Power in Book I of Utopia, since most scholarly
work has concentrated on Book II, the vision of the utopian
society itself. The philosophical conflict between Reason
and Power discussed by Thomas More is also the central
problem in various utopian literary works setting forth Scientific,
Humanistic, Collectivist, New Age, and Natural Utopias."

A
Book for All Seasons : Readings for Every
Day of the Year from the Works of Thomas More
by Thomas More
Templegate Publishers, Dec 1994
"This book consists of extracts from
St.
Thomas More's
English writings or from his reported words. Over 100 pas-
sages are reprinted here for the first time in four centuries
and it is hoped that one value of the selection will prove to
be the introduction of the reader to hitherto scarcely known
treasures from his writings. The main emphasis has been on
More's teaching on religion and the life of the spirit, the tran-
sience of human life and the study of the Scriptures. Drawn
largely from unfamiliar sources, these extracts will give readers
a wider view of More's personality and spirituality." —The Publisher.

More on Statesmanship
by Gerard B. Wegemer
Paperback
Published by Catholic Univ of Amer Pr, August 1998
"Professor Wegemer's book is an
extraordinary
work of interpretation. The key to its success is a
comprehensive grasp of More's life and work,
rooted in a profound sympathy for the man and his
goals. With a calm and confident hand, Wegemer
sheds new light on More's views of statesmanship
and its requirements, on the inner structure of his
enigmatic and playful masterpiece Utopia, and on
the guiding conceptions of his practical political life."
